David Porter is a physicist specializing in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), originally from London. He holds a B.Sc. degree in physics from Sheffield University and a Ph.D. from King’s College London, where he worked on magnetic resonance spectroscopy of human tumors in vivo. David has a significant postdoctoral experience at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where he developed MRI methods for studying epilepsy and acute stroke in children. He then transitioned to an industrial career, working with Siemens Healthcare in the UK and Germany, where he supported research collaborations with universities worldwide to develop novel techniques for Siemens MRI scanners. His work primarily focused on neurology, particularly diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). David's expertise also includes leading MRI projects at the Fraunhofer MEVIS Institute for Medical Image Computing in Bremen, emphasizing motion correction and the design of MRI sequences. He joined the University of Glasgow in 2017, where he works at the Imaging Centre of Excellence (ICE) associated with the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. His current research interests involve optimizing MRI methods to leverage the potential of new generation MRI scanners to enhance image quality for clinical neuroscience applications.
