Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcel Zwiers is an experienced MRI researcher and MR physicist with over two decades of academic and applied work in neuroimaging, currently a senior scientist at the Donders Centre specializing in acquisition and analysis methods for human brain MRI. He combines expertise in advanced imaging techniques—such as distortion correction for EPI, robust diffusion tensor estimation, and multi-band unmixing—with high-performance computing and automated analysis pipelines for large multi-center studies. Marcel has a strong track record of collaboration and infrastructure leadership, contributing to quality control, modeling scanner effects across sites, and strategic growth as a core member of the Research Infrastructure Committee. He has supervised PhD students, taught medical physics, secured grant funding, and authored over 85 scientific papers, reflecting both technical depth and productive team leadership. An early-career background in biophysics and auditory neuroscience gives him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on imaging, signal processing, and neurobiological interpretation.
