Douglas Noll

Douglas Noll is the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan, with additional appointments as Professor of Radiology and affiliate of multiple research institutes including the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Michigan Neuroscience Institute, and Michigan Institute for Imaging Technology and Translation (MIITT). He co-directs the Functional MRI Laboratory and leads the NeuroImaging Core at the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.

Prof. Noll’s research focuses on MRI technology development, particularly for functional MRI (fMRI). His group specializes in high-speed MRI acquisition, signal processing, and image reconstruction to map brain function. Key areas include artifact elimination, physiological modeling, and quantitative imaging for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Recent collaborations apply MRI to histotripsy therapy monitoring.

The 15 most recent articles reflect his work in dynamic MRI reconstruction, artifact correction, and cross-vendor protocol standardization. Topics span B0 shimming, histotripsy targeting, and non-Cartesian sampling, emphasizing spatiotemporal modeling and machine learning integration for accelerated imaging.
