I am an Assistant Professor at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Department of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School and Member of the Affiliated Harvard-MIT HST Faculty at the department of Health, Sciences and Technology (HST) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  My interests focus in improving non-invasive molecular imaging quantification with combined PET/MRI scanners. In particular most of my research is applied to brain and cardiovascular imaging to provide useful diagnostic tools for early detection of cardiovascular disease and brain disorders.

Since my initial steps in medical imaging at the University of Cambridge, UK, I have been working on improving PET image quantification, mostly using MR-based techniques. Among them, I implemented for the first time a partial volume effect correction method for cardiovascular imaging. I have also focused on improving simultaneous PET/MR image quantification by applying MR-based attenuation correction (AC) for PET imaging. Currently more than a dozen international groups have implemented this method for brain AC. I am currently leading a novel line of research using artificial intelligence on cardiovascular applications, that aims to provide improved cardiac motion detection and quantification.
