Patrick studied physics in Heidelberg and did his masters and PhD (2017) at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) about Dynamic Glucose Enhanced MRI using Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) and T1rho/Spin-Lock MRI. After a short PostDoc at the DKFZ he came to Berlin and joined Leif Schröders lab at the FMP in Buch, where he focused on Xenon HyperCEST and quantitative T1 mapping. In 2020, he switched to the Quantitative MRI group of Christoph Kolbitsch at PTB, where he currently focuses on various qMRI techniques and especially their implementation and application using open-source MR pulse programming (Pulseq).
