Postdoctoral Research Fellow, MGH/HST Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging (Alumni)
In July 2016, I received my PhD in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) Applied to Medical Imaging from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain), in collaboration with research groups from Boston (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School) through the Madrid-MIT M+Visión Consortium. My PhD research was focused in image processing techniques to improve the efficiency and safety of Ultra-High-Field MRI scanners and the accuracy in combined PET/MR scanners in brain imaging. On one side, I dealt with the specific absorption rate (SAR), improving the safety in UHF-MRI scanners. On the other side, I obtained accurate attenuation correction (AC) maps, improving the accuracy in simultaneous PET/MR scanners.
Prior to joining the Loggia Lab, I spent a year at the “Integrated MR-PET Lab” at Martinos Center where I conducted research on the extension of MR-based attenuation correction methods for whole-body applications. Now as a fellow at Loggia’s Lab I will apply my technical expertise in combined PET/MR image acquisition and analysis to chronic pain, and to develop predictive models to be used as new multi-modal biomarkers, as well as to learn about the translation of these methods to a real clinical scenario.
Hometown: Madrid, Spain.
