Christopher M. Collins is a Professor in the Department of Radiology at New York University. His primary research interest lies in the interactions of electromagnetic fields with the human body, particularly in the context of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He has led research initiatives focused on the engineering aspects of MRI to ensure image quality and patient safety through the development and application of numerical simulation tools essential for advanced MRI work. His research encompasses understanding how different magnetic field strengths and frequencies, ranging from direct current to 400 MHz, interact with the human anatomy, impacting image quality and patient comfort during MRI procedures. Over the years, his interests have evolved towards creating 3D numerical simulations to aid the MRI community in developing new methods of rapid calculations, especially considering thermal effects on the human body during MRI examinations. Through numerical simulations, he conducts experiments to elucidate observed phenomena, ensure safety, and innovate RF coil technology.
