معرفی
Frank Simonis serves as an Assistant Professor in the Magnetic Detection and Imaging group at the University of Twente's Faculty of Science and Technology. His primary affiliations include the Biomedical Imaging & Sensing department and the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging research group within the TechMed Centre, where he contributes to advancing medical imaging technologies.
His academic journey began with a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), graduating in 2011 after conducting research on T2 mapping of the mouse heart. He then pursued his PhD at the University Medical Centre of Utrecht under Professor Jan Lagendijk and Dr. Nico van den Berg, focusing on the physiological responses to local RF heating during MRI and improvements in arterial input function estimation for dynamic contrast enhanced MRI.
Simonis's current research is centered on developing new applications for low-field MRI (≤1.5T), with expertise in medical diagnostics for conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse and total knee arthroplasty. His work bridges the gap between biomedical engineering and clinical practice, emphasizing the physiological safety and diagnostic efficacy of MRI techniques.
Within the University of Twente, he is an integral member of the Magnetic Detection and Imaging group, which operates under the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging section of the Biomedical Imaging & Sensing department. This group is part of the broader TechMed Centre, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in medical technology.
