Projects

Brain Microstructure Imaging

This project develops and validates biophysical models of diffusion and nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation to quantify tissue microstructure in the brain—such as axonal integrity, inflammation, fiber orientation dispersion, axonal diameters, axonal beading, undulations, and water exchange—using diffusion methods and a leading-edge Siemens Connectom.X gradient system.

BRAIN   DIFFUSION MRI

Imaging of pain sources in myofascial pain syndrome

This project aims to develop PET and MRI techniques to identify novel imaging biomarkers of myofascial tissue damage and associated inflammatory mediators, providing objective measures of trigger points and the sources of pain to improve the diagnosis, characterization, and management of myofascial pain syndrome.

MSK   QUANTITATIVE MRI

Unpacking the Importance of the Structural Injuries in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

This project uses advanced diffusion MRI techniques and novel analysis methods to identify imaging biomarkers of brain changes and cognitive outcomes in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, aiming to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.

BRAIN   DIFFUSION MRI

Cloud MR: An Open-Source Software Framework to Democratize MRI Training and Research

This project aims to democratize MRI research by developing Cloud MR, an open-source virtual scanner platform accessible via web browser, enabling MRI experimentation, education, and development without the need for physical MRI machines.

COILS   PULSE SEQUENCES   SIMULATIONS   SOFTWARE

Open-Source Software Tools for Rapid Radiofrequency Coil Modeling and Simulation in MRI

This project develops open-source, memory-efficient electromagnetic simulation tools using tensor decompositions and optimization techniques to improve RF coil modeling for ultra-high field MRI, enhancing image quality and safety while reducing computational and licensing barriers.
