Radiological Sciences Research Seminar Series

Xiaoqing Wang, PhD, is an Instructor of Radiology at Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. He earned his Doctoral degree in Medical Physics under the mentorship of Jens Frahm at the Max Planck Institute and the University of Göttingen, Germany, in 2017. Following his PhD, Wang served as a Research Scientist at the University Medical Center Göttingen and as a Research Fellow at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital. His research focuses on motion-robust MRI pulse sequence design, quantitative MRI, model-based image reconstruction and their clinical applications, such as cardiovascular and perinatal imaging. Wang’s work has been recognized with cum laude awards from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and has been among the top 10% most downloaded papers in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. Most recently, he was awarded two NIH R01 grants to advance motion- and distortion-robust quantitative MRI techniques for fetal and neonatal brain imaging.
