Biography

Sebastian studied Electrical Biomedical Engineering and obtained his PhD and Venia legendi from ETH Zurich in 2000 and 2005, respectively. He was a research associate in the Division of Imaging Sciences at King’s College London from 2002 to 2003. In 2003, he co-founded a startup company, GyroTools, aimed at translating imaging research into applicable prototypes for Magnetic Resonance (MR) experimentalists and clinicians. He was elected Professor and Chair of MR Physics at King’s College London in 2008 and promoted to Professor at the University of Zurich in 2010. In October 2014, he joined ETH as a Full Professor, holding a dual appointment in the Medical Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Zurich. He is the founder of EXCITE Zurich, a joint competence center to promote the development and application of experimental clinical imaging technologies. With over 300 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous patents, he is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who frequently receives invitations to major conferences and workshops in his field. He has received awards for his research, including the Outstanding Teacher Award, and has been recognized as a Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. His research interests encompass Magnetic Resonance imaging methodology, focusing on ultra-fast dynamic imaging and perfusion, as well as cardiac mechanics.
