Professor Dr. Alfredo Ordinola

Biography

Alfredo Ordinola is a PhD student at Linköping University, focused on implementing diffusion-sensitive magnetic resonance sequences. His research includes deriving models and running experiments that utilize MR scanners to aid in characterizing complex media. He presents a significant focus on the human brain's intricate microstructure, emphasizing its crucial role in various functions. His work explores how changes in structural characteristics can be utilized as biomarkers for diseases, tumors, and strokes. Achieving accurate descriptions of brain characteristics is a challenging yet essential task. He leverages diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, a non-invasive technique that provides rich information about the brain's structures by probing the random movement of water molecules and describing related processes, including molecular exchange through cellular membranes. His research involves experimentally investigating new sequences and models to accurately represent complex processes, along with conducting experiments and processing output data related to diffusion-sensitive MR sequences.
