Summary
Liam Timms is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School’s Computational Radiology Lab, specializing in MRI reconstruction and quantitative image processing with over a decade of experience in physics, mathematics, and scientific programming. He holds a PhD in Physics from Northeastern University and has combined hands-on MRI scanning (human and animal models), nanoparticle-based neuroimaging, and large-scale data analysis to push novel imaging techniques from bench to code. Liam regularly bridges experimental work and algorithm development—designing electronics for optogenetics early in his career and now implementing advanced reconstruction pipelines for clinical research. He also tutors physics and math, translating complex concepts into clear instruction for hundreds of students, which informs his collaborative, pedagogy-minded approach to team science. Notably, his background in both MR hardware operation and computational methods gives him uncommon end-to-end expertise in medical imaging research.
