I am an MRI physicist with a strong clinical
research background and extensive experience working in clinical environments.
I have a PhD in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a German university diploma
in solid-state physics and a certificate in medical physics with focus on
medical radiation physics.
Since August 2016, I
My second research focus is on developing software allowing fast and automated image processing – vital in the surgical theatre and valuable for MRI research in general. In the past, I worked on MRIST (MR Imaging and Spectroscopy Toolbox): a processing pipeline, which I initiated during my PhD in Frankfurt/Main. It provides a Linux based framework to control and process MRI data using research software (SPM, FSL, MATLAB) from single subject studies to large-scale projects. Additionally, I developed different SPM toolboxes to support intra-operative fMRI data processing.
