I am an assistant professor for computational radiology at the Department of Neuroradiology<\/a> at the Medical University of Innsbruck<\/a>. In 2017, I received the Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger Fellowship of the Austrian Science Fund<\/a> to work as a postdoctoral fellow at the MRI science lab<\/a> of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Prior to that, I worked as PhD student and later on postdoctoral researcher in the Neuroimaging Research Group<\/a> at the Medical University of Graz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research focus is the\ndevelopment and validation of quantitative MRI techniques for measuring iron\nand myelin in the brain, with a strong focus on application in neurological\ndisorders. During my PhD I investigated the effect of temperature and fixation\nin post-mortem MRI and initiated several post-mortem studies for validation of\nnew quantitative MRI techniques. In this context I performed superconducting\nquantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry measurements on biological\ntissue to determine their biophysical properties and compared these with MRI\ndata. Furthermore, I closely collaborated with project partners on performing\nelectron microscopy, mass spectroscopy and histological analysis on brain\ntissue subsequent to post-mortem MRI for his validation studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
