Research interests

My main research focus is on musculoskeletal diseases, with particular emphasis on advanced cartilage and bone imaging using high-field MRI (3T and 7T). I investigate cartilage regeneration, bone marrow and joint imaging, as well as bone-marrow edema-like signals, with a special focus on long-term outcomes following cartilage repair. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Musculoskeletal and Dental Research under the supervision of Univ.-Prof. Siegfried Trattnig.
