Hello everyone,
My name is Timothée Caussin, and I have recently started a PhD at the BioMaps (UPSaclay) laboratory, focusing on low-field MRI spirometry. My research aims at leveraging the advantages of low-field MRI for lung imaging and at developing new biomarkers that can improve the prediction and treatment of pulmonary diseases.
I have an engineering background from my bachelor’s degree at CentraleSupélec, where I developed a strong scientific foundation. I later specialized in medical imaging and MRI during my studies at King’s College London. My first experience in the field was working on a thermometry project using a 7T MRI. This gave me insights into high-field imaging and hands-on expertise in the treatment of data from an MRI.
I am particularly excited by the opportunity to work across the entire MRI imaging pipeline—from acquisition to reconstruction and ultimately clinical studies on volunteers.
Working on a low-field MRI also aligns with my desire to combine high-end therapies with ecological constraints. I am convinced they will eventually lead us to rethink our relation to imaging technologies and to question the need for an ever-growing consumption of resources.
I look forward to meeting all of the actors of the Spiro3D project and collaborating on such a challenging and meaningful project.
