About
I am a Canadian living in Shanghai, working as a postdoc in Dr. Zhang Zhiyong's group. I develop acquisition and reconstruction methods for a low-cost 100 mT portable MRI system.
I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, followed by a 2-year term as a scientist in Stanford Radiology. At Stanford, I invented multiple MR diffusion imaging techniques which were precursors to my most recent works on portable MRI.
Portable MRI has become a hot topic in the past ~10 years, and it is expected these systems will improve MRI accessibility to remote areas and low-income regions. These systems can generally be manufactured for $10-100k USD and compared to conventional superconducting systems, they will be about 5-10 times cheaper per unit. Although the image quality is worse, it is expected to be sufficient for some specific clinical applications such as stroke detection.
