Biography

Fotis Vlachos was born in 1980 in Athens, Greece. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the medical school of the University of Patras (Patras, Greece). For his M.S., he worked on the construction of a medical phantom for human MRSI experiments. For his Ph.D., he worked on the simulation, design and construction of a phased array coil for human prostate MR imaging.

Dr. Vlachos's research interests include MRI pulse sequence optimization and programming. He is currently working on permeability mapping in the blood-brain barrier.
