ResearchGateABOUT ME:
I am a MR engineer in the Laboratory of Brain Imaging at the Nencki Institute. My technical expertise includes:
- proton spectroscopy acquisition and analysis (single-voxel, functional spectroscopy, detection of GABA)
- programming and modification of MR sequences (Siemens, GE, Bruker)
- hyperpolarization techniques (DNP-NMR)
My research interests are:
- T1-mapping techniques with a use of standard vendor sequences (VFA+STESE) and newly available protocols
- Single-voxel spectroscopy in a context of data analysis and application in neurobiology i.e. functional measurement
- Sequence optimization and programming (Siemens, GE, Bruker)
I am also responsible for LOBI IT services i.e. data management, quality control and computations.
