She has been awarded the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (2020), Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship (2016-2020), Wellcome Trust Open Science Award (2018-2020), and other awards. She is also an ISMRM Junior Fellow (2019) and recipient of the Philips Pulse Programming Award (2017).
Research Experience
Currently, she is a Researcher at King's College London. She has been involved in the ERC-funded Developing Human Connectome Project, mapping emerging brain connectivity by studying 1000 neonates and 500 fetuses. She also collaborates closely with clinicians on various studies and leads several research projects, such as self-driving fetal MRI examination and functional placental MRI.
Education
She obtained her BSc in Applied Mathematics from Erlangen, Germany in 2006 and MSc in Applied Mathematics from Rennes, France in 2011. She completed her PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 2014, focusing on non-contrast enhanced MR angiography reconstructions using compressed sensing.
Background
Her research bridges the gap between pathology-driven modeling and MRI physics to answer biological and clinical questions with dedicated MR data. She aims to develop novel multi-modal MRI techniques and apply them to a range of clinical questions, focusing mostly on women’s health and development.
Miscellany
She is an active member of the Wellcome Trust ECR Advisory Board, supporting open research culture, and is part of the ISMRM Fetal and Placental Study Group. She is also involved in organizing two MICCAI workshops: CDMRI 2020 and PIPPI 2020.
