Marc-Antoine Fortin

About

I am a PhD candidate in Physics under the supervision of Pål Erik Goa working in the SCAIFIELD consortium (https://www.neurodegenerationresearch.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/PROJECT-SCAIFIELD.pdf). More precisely, I work in quantitative MRI (qMRI) for automatic brain segmentation of 7T MRI data.

I have a bachelor in Physics from University of Montreal and a master of science in Medical Radiation Physics from McGill University. For my masters' thesis, I worked on developing a novel fat-water separated T1 mapping technique in qMRI.
