Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Miriam Menzel. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Miriam Menzel studied Physics at RWTH Aachen University (Germany) and Imperial College London (UK), focusing on theoretical solid state physics, biophotonics, and medical imaging. In 2013, she joined the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine at Research Center Jülich (Germany), where she started working on optics simulation and polarization microscopy of brain tissue. After completing her PhD in 2018 with distinction, she shifted her focus to the experimental development of new light microscopy techniques for brain research, exploiting scattered light to visualize complex brain tissue structures. Menzel served as a visiting postdoctoral scholar at Stanford School of Medicine (USA), where she compared light and X-ray scattering in brain tissue. In 2022, she joined the Department of Imaging Physics at TU Delft as an Assistant Professor and founded a lab for computational scattered light imaging. Her research interests encompass computational scattered light imaging, neuroimaging, biomedical optics, and image processing.
