Rate My Professor Nicholas Senn

Dr Nicholas Senn is a Research Fellow in the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition at the University of Aberdeen. He graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2015 with an MPhys (Hons) in Physics with Medical Physics. He completed a PhD in Medical Physics at the University of Aberdeen in 2019, with research focused on the application of q-space diffusion MRI in breast cancer using a clinical 3T system.

Following his doctorate, Dr Senn joined the University of Aberdeen Field-cycling Imaging Group as a postdoctoral Research Fellow, investigating novel contrast mechanisms in tissue stent test objects at field strengths below 0.2 T. After a short career break, he returned to the Biomedical Imaging Centre in September 2022 as a Research Fellow to develop analysis methods for detecting cerebral small vessel disease using Field-cycling MRI. Since April 2024, he has worked in the Center for Adaptable MRI Technology (AMT Center), contributing to the development of 3D MR spirometry at very-low field strengths as part of the SPIRO-3D consortium. He has also initiated pilot projects on micro imaging capabilities for MRI and an analysis pipeline for co-registering digitised microscopy images with Field-cycling MRI data. Dr Senn is a member of the Aberdeen Biomedical Imaging Centre and the AMT Center, serves as SINAPSE Image Analysis Theme Lead, and participates in the V|LF-Spiro3D Consortium. In 2023 he received the Proffered SHARP Prize Talk award. His work involves MRI techniques including field-cycling MRI, low-field MRI, radial imaging, and image analysis applied to areas such as cerebral small vessel disease, breast cancer, and lung imaging.
