Tobias Schaeffter

Tobias Schaeffter is a Professor of Biomedical Imaging at Technische Universität Berlin and Head of the Medical Physics and Metrological Information Technology division at the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB). His interdisciplinary career bridges engineering, medical imaging, and quantitative diagnostics.

• PhD in Biochemistry from University of Bremen (1993–1996)
• Former Head of Biomedical Engineering at King’s College London (2013–2015)
• Full Professor at King’s College London (2006–2015)

His research focuses on quantitative biomedical imaging, particularly MRI techniques for measuring biophysical parameters like blood velocity and tissue stiffness. Recent work integrates deep learning and AI to enhance image reconstruction and motion correction.

Selected trends from his 15 most recent articles include:

• Deep learning frameworks for radial MRI acceleration and U-Net segmentation in MR elastography.
• Development of quantitative MRI standards for comparative diagnostics and population studies.
• Advancements in respiratory motion correction and cardiac perfusion quantification using AI.
• Applications of MRF (Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting) and golden ratio sampling in high-field MRI.

Current collaborations span data science, clinical medicine, and industrial partners to standardize medical imaging data.
