Professor of Bioengineering Ph.D. (1989) University of Cambridge (UK) Dept. of Bioengineering
My research concentrates on the development of new functional agents for in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, the use of radiofrequency microcoils for high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance and microscopy, and hardware development for functional brain mapping using MRI. Applications include non-invasive temperature mapping of hyperthermia treatment of cancer, NMR imaging of single neuronal cells, and mapping of brain areas associated with different memory and attentional paradigms.
