Hi, thanks for visiting! 🤝

I’m a research faculty in the Michigan Institute for Imaging Technology and Translation (MIITT), Department of Radiology, University of Michigan (UMICH) in Ann Arbor, USA.

I was a postdoctoral scientist supervised by Prof. Dr. Florian Knoll at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). I enjoyed the time with Prof. Knoll building efficient deep learning reconstruction methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Meanwhile, I was a lecturer on the core master study module “Computational Imaging Project”, mentoring about 8 master students per semester. Before that, I was a postdoctoral project leader sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the University Medical Center Goettingen (UMG) and adjunct at Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences (MPINAT). I worked with Prof. Dr. Martin Uecker and Prof. Dr. Jens Frahm developing advanced pulse sequences and iterative reconstruction methods for fast MRI.

I’m interested in MRI physics and optimization methods. I’ve acquired vast hands-on experience in developing efficient data sampling schemes for MRI, exploring advanced deep neural networks for data-driven image reconstructions, and publishing research outcomes in medical imaging journals.
