Research Summary¶
Research Focus
My research specialises in innovating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mechanisms for clinical and research applications. Since my PhD, I have been one of the earliest pioneers in developing the Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) technique – a new imaging mechanism regarded as one of the most critical MRI technological breakthroughs in recent years. I am internationally recognised as a leading expert in this competitive field.
Breakthrough DECRA Project
In 2020, I independently proposed a ground-breaking ARC DECRA Fellowship project aimed at revolutionising microscopic imaging techniques by breaking the sub-millimetre image resolution barrier — a long-standing bottleneck of current MRI methods. This project aims to change imaging practice in Australia and save substantial costs for research studies requiring tissue imaging.
Expanding to AI-driven MRI
In recent years, I have expanded my research to novel acquisition and artificial intelligence methods for medical imaging. This includes developing generative AI models for quantitative MRI reconstruction and analysis.
