Dongsuk Sung, Ph.D.

Research Fellow

My research focus is development of biophysical modeling based on neuroimaging data to improve clinical outcomes in neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases by advancing understanding of brain physiology and microstructure. During my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory (PI: Dr. Candace Fleischer), I developed diagnostic and prognostic tools for improved treatment outcomes after brain injury and ischemia through MR imaging, spectroscopy, and thermometry. I joined MGH in July 2024 as a postdoctoral research fellow at Dr. Susie Huang’s group in Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. Currently, I am working on both ex vivo and in vivo diffusion MRI acquisition as well as diffusion data analysis for microstructure modeling and tractography. I am excited to work and collaborate with Dr. Brian Edlow to uncover microstructural and structural network change after traumatic brain injury. In my free time, I enjoy watching soccer (especially English Premier League games) and hanging out with my two lovely cats.
