Honorary Appointment +44 20 8722 4436

I am a Postdoctoral Training Fellow working on implementing latest MR image reconstruction techniques to develop fast volumetric imaging for MR Linac. Specifically, the focus of the project is the fast mapping of relaxation parameters to characterise hypoxia in tumours to determine their resistance to radiotherapy treatment.

I am a PhD student working on accelerating magnetic resonance imaging to improve radiotherapy treatment on the MR-Linac. My project aims at reconstructing volumetric images from the scanner in real-time to enable the radiotherapy treatment to compensate for respiratory motion when delivering the radiation.

I am a Postdoctoral Training Fellow working on distortion-less diffusion-weighted MRI for the Unity MR-Linac system. Another research interest to me is characterization of intravoxel incoherent motion with tailored diffusion-weighting gradient profiles. To achieve this, I use MR pulse programming, which I learned during my PhD on MR Neurography.
