Simon Thalén, MD, PhD

Post doctoral fellow
Karolinska Institutet
Palo Alto, California, United States

I am a clinical physiology resident at Karolinska University Hospital work on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With a background in mathematics, I am trying to live at the intersection of mathematics, technology, and medicine. My thesis focused on MRI evaluation of constrictive heart diseases, such as pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis. I used phase contrast MRI to measure blood flow and T1 mapping to characterize pericardial effusion fluid. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Radiological Sciences Laboratory at Stanford University working primarily on phase contrast MRI. I am a strong proponent of the ideals the of open science.
