Sebastian Weingärtner
Principal Investigator
Sebastian likes research. He also likes other things, but these are not the reason for the web-page so we keep it to research for now.

Joao Tourais
Post-Doc
Apparently Joao wasn't sufficiently repelled by MRI research during his Ph.D. at the University of Eindhoven. So he decided to chip in his expertise at MARS Lab.
Chiara Coletti
PhD Student
After her M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering, Chiara joined Mars Lab for her Ph.D. Her work is focused on (hopefully) designing new sequences for functional brain MRI.
Paulina ŠiurytÄ—
PhD Student
Paulina graduated in Physics at the University of Surrey (UK), focusing on experimental nuclear physics. However, she decided that MRI would be way cooler. In MARS lab, Paulina will be researching new imaging biomarkers with quantitative MRI.
Maša Božić-Iven
PhD Student
jointly with Prof. Lothar Schad,
University of Heidelberg
Is MRI cooler than lasers? Maša is going to find out. Her Ph.D. research will focus on developing and optimizing methods in quantitative cardiac MRI.
Ayda Arami
PhD Student
Ayda had an opportunity to become familiar with MR imaging during her time as a biomedical engineering student during her bachelor and master studies. Her great interest in MR physics lead her from Iran all the way to the Netherlands for pursuing a Ph.D. in Mars Lab. She is going to work on a novel technique for assessing myocardial perfusion.
Roeland Naaktgeboren
Master Student
Born and raised on flat land, Roeland enjoys climbing in and outdoors when he has free time. With the remaining time, Roeland will rock radiofrequency pulse design for improved quantitative MRI.
Jasper van Leeuwen
Master Student
Apparently, playing board games and deciphering puzzles are not enough, so Jasper will work with active switching of dielectric pads to modify the B1+ field during his master thesis project.
Hülya Falkena
Bachelor Student
Dancing, reading, and meeting up with friends are some of the things Hülya will do during her time with the Lab, besides developing phantoms and software for quantitative MRI.
Merijn Berendsen
Bachelor Student
The complex nature of MRI fascinated Merijn, so he will develop advanced quantitative mapping methods, and let's hope it's just not a phase.
Sebastian Domsch
Research Consultant
Sebastian is a Data Scientist. But as his primary occupation fails to please his insatiable thirst for MRI research, he conducts multiple research projects with the MARS lab as a side hustle.
