Marion Menzel

Marion Menzel is a Professor and Vice Dean at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt). She specializes in Biomechatronics and Sensor Data Analysis, with a focus on Medical Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Her research emphasizes quantitative MRI techniques, including MR fingerprinting, deep learning applications in medical imaging, and hyperpolarized MRI for metabolic analysis.

Education highlights include a Ph.D. (1999–2002) and Diplom-Chemiker (1994–1999) from RWTH Aachen. She has held roles at GE Healthcare, Siemens AG, and Forschungszentrum Jülich before joining THI in 2021. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, addressing challenges in imaging reconstruction, parameter mapping, and AI-driven diagnostics.

Research interests span MRI acceleration, uncertainty quantification, and multimodal data fusion. She has pioneered methods like StoDIP and MRI2Qmap, advancing 3D imaging and compressive sensing. Her contributions to hyperpolarized 13C MRI enable non-invasive metabolic profiling in oncology and diabetes research.

Key awards include recognition as an Alumna of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation. Her lab collaborates on projects like CHAIMELEON, a Pan-European initiative for AI-driven cancer management tools. Recent grants focus on improving diagnostic accuracy through AI and spatiotemporal reconstruction algorithms.

Menzel’s team develops open-source frameworks for MRI analysis and actively participates in standardizing medical imaging protocols. Her work has direct clinical impact in neuro-oncology, radiology, and precision medicine.
