Biography
Dr Shaihan Malik's research focuses on the physics of MRI, particularly in imaging using ultrahigh field (7T) MRI systems. He completed his PhD in fast MR imaging in 2008, moving to King’s in 2012. He is currently technical lead for the 7T London Collaborative Ultrahigh field System (LoCUS) and leads a program of research aiming to push this powerful technology into new clinical and biomedical applications including young children and infants. His more technical research interests include rapid imaging, RF pulse design, safety, and quantitative MRI (including imaging of tissue electrical properties); he is also engaged with developing lower cost / more accessible solutions for the future of medical imaging.
Shaihan is a proponent of open science and reproducible research, he has led the ISMRM reproducible research study group, and regularly makes code available at https://github.com/mriphysics.
