Dr. Luis Hernandez Garcia

Biography

Luis Hernandez-Garcia is a Research Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research interests focus on developing and integrating techniques for studying brain function, particularly using blood flow indicators to assess brain activity. He is dedicated to advancing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods that accurately and efficiently quantify cerebral blood flow. Currently, he is working on fast MRI acquisition techniques to enhance the quality of MRI-based blood flow measurements, along with developing non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. His previous work includes the design and analysis of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) devices and the development of focused ultrasound neuromodulation technology. The goal of his research is to combine various fields to create a closed-loop feedback system that integrates functional imaging with non-invasive neuromodulation, aiming to transform neuroscience research and treatment for mental health disorders.
