Projects

Noninvasive Estimation of Electrical Properties from Magnetic Resonance Measurements

This project develops a three-pronged strategy—combining global inverse modeling, physics-informed neural networks, and vision transformers—to generate high-resolution maps of tissue electrical properties using MRI, with broad applications in medical imaging and treatment.

QUANTITATIVE MRI   SIMULATIONS

Biomarkers of Abnormal Brain Aging

This research investigates early mechanisms of abnormal brain aging and validates early biomarkers to identify pre-symptomatic stages before clinical symptoms appear.

AGING   BRAIN

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

Multinuclear MRI to Monitor Breast Cancer Therapy

This project develops a multinuclear MRI technique using sodium (23Na) and hydrogen (1H) MR fingerprinting at 3 T to create imaging biomarkers for assessing early breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and guiding treatment decisions.

BREAST   X-NUCLEI

Imaging and Therapeutic Targeting of Tissue Crosstalk in the Injured Knee

This project investigates the interplay between inflammation and apoptosis in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) using in vitro and in vivo methods to develop therapeutic strategies that target both pathways and prevent disease progression.
