Dr. Matt Rosen is a physicist, tool-builder and inventor whose research bridges the spectrum from fundamental physics to applied bioimaging work in the field of MRI. He established the Low-Field MRI and Hyperpolarized Media Laboratory at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging to focus on the continued development of new hyperpolarization methods and MRI-based tools.

The Rosen Lab focuses on new methods and tools to enable unconventional approaches to MRI scanner construction. This includes the development of new acquisition strategies for robust ultra-low magnetic field implementations of MRI focused on brain imaging. The laboratory also explores opportunities provided by hyperpolarization including in vivo Overhauser DNP, SABRE and spin-exchange optical pumping. The lab creates new quantitative strategies for the acquisition and the reconstruction of highly undersampled imaging data including neural network deep learning-based approaches such as AUTOMAP that leverage low-cost scalable-compute. Dr. Rosen co-directs the Center for Machine Learning at the Martinos Center.
