Methods development for high-resolution functional MRI of cortical layers with focus on the human hippocampus. *Built end-to-end research pipeline *Designed sequences on Siemens platforms (C++) for improved imaging of the human hippocampus *Acquired high-dimensional data on Siemens 7 T MR system *Developed data processing pipeline and shared with neuroscientists *statistically analyzed data (R, python) and visualized results *provided technical support for MR data acquisition for neuroscience

PhD student at the Erwin L. Hahn Institute for MRI, Essen, Germany, in collaboration with the Donders Institute, Radboud University Nijmegen. *designed RF pulses by numerically minimizing linear and regularized cost functions *Designed sequences on Siemens platforms (C++) *Acquired high-dimensional data on Siemens 7 T MR system *Designed image reconstruction *Developed data processing pipeline *conducted numerical simulations of temporal MR signals *statistically analyzed data and visualized results

Acquisition and analysis of 3 T MRI data of patients with degenerative cerebellar diseases and healthy volunteers. *Active data acquisition on a Siemens 3 T MRI system *curated and analyzed the data using statistical parametric mapping
