Professional Focus:

The primary interest of my research is the development, evaluation and application of MR imaging techniques for disease detection, diagnosis, monitoring and management. My current projects involve development of novel MRI pulse sequences and implement of real time parallel computing mechanism. In additional, I will be responsible for providing physics support to the users of the 3T Philips scanner and maintaining the regular quality assurance. I also play a role in communicating and interacting with Philips’ scientists and engineers in implementing, testing and evaluating the latest MR techniques.
