Nan-kuei Chen

Nan-kuei Chen is an MRI scientist with deep expertise in MRI physics, fast image acquisition, pulse sequence design, signal processing, and artifact correction. He has developed novel approaches to address challenging MRI artifacts, including EPI distortions, susceptibility-induced signal loss, and motion-related phase errors in interleaved EPI diffusion imaging. Chen is the original developer of multiplexed sensitivity encoded (MUSE) MRI, enabling high-resolution, accurate mapping of brain connectivity in vivo at high spatial-resolution and accuracy. His current research focuses on advancing data acquisition and reconstruction methods to achieve artifact-free, multi-contrast, and quantitative MRI within clinically practical timeframes.
