Projects

Overhauser Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Water Vapor

This project develops an Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization platform to enhance nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging signals through efficient electron–nuclear polarization transfer using a custom microwave transmission system, loop-gap resonator, and inhalable hyperpolarized aerosols for high-sensitivity pulmonary imaging at low magnetic fields.

Cellular Viscosity as a Marker for Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology: A Combined Multiparametric MR Spectroscopy and PET Study

This project investigates intracellular viscosity as a potential early marker of neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease by combining PET imaging, blood-based biomarkers, and an innovative technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopic fingerprinting (MRSF), using data from a well-characterized cohort at NYU’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.

Multinuclear MRI to Assess Joint Homeostasis after Knee Injury

This study aims to develop a predictive model for post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) progression following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury by integrating imaging, biological, and biomechanical markers to improve understanding, therapeutic targeting, and treatment monitoring.

GRASP MRI

This project focuses on the ongoing development and clinical translation of GRASP MRI—a fast, motion-robust dynamic imaging method combining golden-angle radial sampling, compressed sensing, and parallel imaging—which has been widely adopted in clinical practice, expanded into advanced variants, and increasingly applied in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings.
