Curriculum Vitae

Roles

Academic Program Director: Study Programs in Physics, Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics, and Quantum Science and Technology

Research

We develop novel X-ray imaging methods using highly brilliant synchrotron radiation and conventional laboratory X-ray sources. We mainly focus on quantitative multi-modal approaches combining spectral and phase-contrast imaging. Currently, we are aiming at applying these methods for improved breast cancer detection and for quantitative 3D virtual histology of human tissue.
