Dr. Gabriel Ramos Llorden (1988, Spain) is a biomedical imaging scientist and engineer with more than 12 years of experience advancing medical imaging across multiple modalities, including MRI, ultrasound, and CT. He has deep expertise in MRI acquisition, reconstruction, and AI-driven analysis, complemented by broad training in signal processing, quantitative modeling, and image analysis. He earned his PhD in Medical Physics at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, where his research focused on
improving MRI relaxometry through statistical signal processing.
Following his PhD, Dr. Ramos Llorden pursued postdoctoral training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and later at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. His research during this time focused on advancing image acquisition and reconstruction technologies for in vivo and ex vivo human brain mapping using diffusion MRI and next-generation high-performance MRI scanners, such as the Connectome 2.0 system. He is currently supported by a prestigious NIH
BRAIN Initiative (NINDS) K99/R00 Award, through which he is developing high-resolution functional and diffusion MRI methods to map hippocampal neuroplasticity during spatial memory, with the goal of establishing early imaging biomarkers of memory impairment.
