Canada Research Chair in Functional and Metabolic Mapping

Professor, Medical Biophysics, Diagnostic Radiology & Nuclear Medicine,  Neuro-science, Biomedical Engineering, and Psychiatry

Research Interests

Area of Research: Imaging (Neuro)

Primary Research: Development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) techniques. MRI and MRS offer powerful methods for the non-invasive evaluation of the brain in health and disease using the 3T Siemens Tim Trio, the 7T Varian/Siemens (both human) and the 9.4T Varian (preclinical) MRI systems in the Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping. His major research focus is in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a method that allows neuroscientists to examine brain function at high spatial and temporal resolution. Another major area is in the design of sophisticated Radio Frequency hardware to better utilize these ultra-high field magnets.
