- Profile
-
I graduated with a double MSc degree from the ENSPG Physics engineering school in Grenoble and from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. I completed my Marie-Curie PhD program at the Atomic Optics department of the Jagiellonian university in Krakow on the subject of “Metastability Exchange Optical Pumping of 3He in situ”. I joined the POLARIS group of the University of Sheffield in 2012 and I am a research scientist.
- Research interests
-
My research interests are development and optimisation of MR imaging methods for functional and structural imaging of the lungs with hyperpolarised gases and proton MRI.
- Current Projects
-
- Dissolved xenon imaging to assess gas transfer impairment in the lungs of subject with different diseases (long COVID, IPF/ILD, Asthma/COPD…).
- Image analysis and image registration for regional comparison of quantitative parametric maps of lung function.
