Biography

I’m interested in vascular physiology and hemodynamics visualized using advanced MRI techniques combined with physiological stimuli. Also, i've grown a passion for metabolic imaging based in spectroscopy. My long term vision is to combine these incredible techniques to seach for a more complete picture of cerebral metabolism. I’m looking to collaborate on projects related to vascular reactivity, temporal aspects of the hemodynamic response in health and disease and the combination of multi-parametric data for tissue classification.
