Author Information

Professor Yi Wang is the Faculty Distinguished Professor of Radiology, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and co-Director of the MRI facility at Cornell University. He is a Fellow of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), ISMRM (International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine), and AIMBE (American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering). He has been elected to the Council of Distinguished Investigators of the Academy of Radiology Research. He has served as a scientific reviewer of grant applications for many agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), European Research Council, Research Grants Council of Hong Kong, Swiss National Science Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust of the United Kingdom. As a Principal Investigator, Professor Wang has been awarded many NIH grants for MRI-related research and education and has published more than 220 peer-reviewed journal papers. Professor Wang's research interest has been in developing MRI technology for clinical applications using tools from computer science, electronic engineering, mathematics, and physics and using knowledge in biology, chemistry, life science and medicine. He has made significant contributions to MRI development including: 1) navigator motion compensation for cardiac MRI that has become widely adapted in cardiac MRI community, 2) time resolved imaging of transport processes, including MR digital subtraction angiography that has become a major method for MRA and vector field perfusion, 3) multi-station stepping-table platform with local coils for fast imaging of large FOV that has become a standard feature of modern MRI system, such as the platform for Siemens' TIM MRI product, and 4) recently, the Bayesian approach to the field source inverse problem for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) of tissue magnetism (including iron, calcification and myelin). QSM has become a very active field with a wide range of applications including neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, oxygen consumption, hemorrhage, iron chelation, osteoporosis, atherosclerotic plaque, and theranostics. Professor Wang is currently working on QSM and other novel MRI techniques and their translations to clinical applications in the brain, heart, liver and prostate.
