Xiaoqing Wang

Xiaoqing Wang, PhD

Xiaoqing Wang is an assistant professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School and a scientist in the department of radiology at Boston Children’s Hospital. He received his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in physics from the Max Planck Institute and the University of Göttingen, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jens Frahm. Before joining Boston Children’s Hospital, he was a research fellow at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also previously served as a research scientist at University Medical Center Göttingen. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on motion-robust pulse sequence design, quantitative MRI, model-based image reconstruction, and their translational applications in fetal and pediatric MRI.

Moritz Blumenthal

Moritz Blumenthal

Moritz Blumenthal is a research fellow at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital. He earned his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in mathematics from the University of Göttingen, Germany. In addition to his current position at Boston Children's, he is also a research fellow at the Institute of Biomedical Imaging at Graz University of Technology under the guidance of Prof. Martin Uecker. Dr. Blumenthal’s research focuses on various aspects of computational MRI, including deep learning–based reconstruction, Bayesian reconstruction with diffusion priors, model-based reconstruction, and efficient computational algorithms. His current work is focused on developing 3D motion-robust quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) reconstructions.
