I am a Biomedical Engineering PhD candidate working on quantitative MRI and MR Fingerprinting in Prof. Nicole Seiberlich’s group at the Michigan Institute for Imaging Technology and Translation (MIITT), University of Michigan. My work focuses on understanding real-world limitations of quantitative MRI methods and developing approaches that make them more robust and usable in practice. Specifically, my work includes designing optimized MR Fingerprinting sequences for rapid quantitative abdominal imaging, advancing multiparametric tissue characterization (T1, T2, T2*, T1ρ, PDFF) at multiple field strengths, and developing reconstruction methods for multi-echo MRF data.
I am a core contributor to OpenMRF, an open framework aimed at identifying shared challenges in MR Fingerprinting research, improving reproducibility, and reducing barriers to method development and innovation. With a background in physics, I have worked across collaborative projects spanning Europe and North America, helping connect groups with different technical perspectives and turning loosely defined problems into concrete research directions.
I completed my MSc in Physics at the University of Würzburg, Germany, in the group of Prof. Peter Jakob. I grew up in Germany and have also spent time living and studying in the United States, France, and Israel. I am fluent in German, English, and French.
