Research interests
My main research focuses on advancing MRI technology, particularly in the development of wearable and flexible RF coil designs. I am passionate about creating miniaturized RF coils and subsystems. My work aims to bridge the gap between innovative RF engineering and practical imaging solutions, enhancing patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy in high-field MRI applications.My broader interests also include RF circuit design,signal processing, and the optimization of MRI hardware to support imaging needs.
Techniques, methods & infrastructure
My Research employs advanced electromagnetic simulations using CST, Ansys HFSS and experimental MRI systems,focusing on high-field MRI to validate RF coil designs. I utilize combination of computational methods using EM simulation tools, Circuit simulations, Numerical Analysis using MATLAB and bench level testing to refine miniaturized RF components, with facilities equipped for flexible coil fabrication, high-resolution imaging, and RF circuit testing. This infrastructure enables comprehensive design and performance validation, ensuring innovations are clinically viable and compatible with patient-centered imaging solutions.
