Biography
Dr Senn graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2015 with a MPhys (Hons) in Physics with Medical Physics. He then moved to the University of Aberdeen to undertake a PhD in Medical Physics, investigating the extent translated diffusion methods can measure breast cancer cell density and tissue heterogeneity using a clinical 3T MRI system.
Following the award of his PhD in 2019, he joined the University of Aberdeen Field-cycling Imaging Group as a postdoctoral Research Fellow. Over the next 9 months he investigated novel contrast mechanisms imparted to tissue stent test objects at field strengths below 0.2 T.
Following a short career break, Dr Senn returned to the University of Aberdeen Biomedical Imaging Centre in September 2022 as a Research Fellow to investigate and develop analysis methods to examine the extent Field-cycling MRI can detect cerebral small vessel disease. To date, Dr Senn continues this work as both co-applicant and Research Fellow.
Since April 2024, Dr Senn began working within the Center for Adaptable MRI Technology (AMT Center) at Aberdeen. As a postdoctoral Research Fellow he is working towards developing 3D MR spirometry at very-low field strengths as part of the SPIRO-3D consortium lung imaging project (SPIRO 3D),
In 2024, Dr Senn also launched new pilot research efforts to realise new micro imaging capabilities for MRI (ARUK Scotland Junior Member Grant) and to develop an analysis pipeline to co-register digitised microscopy images to images acquired from Field-cycling MRI (Friends of ANCHOR Pilot Research Award).
