Andre Van Der KouweAndré van der Kouwe, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Radiology at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in the Department of Radiology of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. van der Kouwe studied electroni and bioengineering at the University of Pretoria in South Africa where he developed a brain-computer interface using brain electrical evoked signals. He received a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Ohio State University, having developed a continuous brain electrophysiology monitoring system for critically ill patients in the neurointensive care unit at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He completed a research fellowship in magnetic resonance imaging at the Martinos Center where he continues to develop pulse sequences and image reconstruction software for tracking and correcting motion and related effects in magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, along with acquisition methods for brain morphometry and ultra-high resolution brain tissue imaging, which he shares with the research community. Dr. van der Kouwe values his collaboration with colleagues at the Cape Universities Body Imaging Centre at the University of Cape Town who study brain disorders relevant to global health, including the effects on the developing brain of prenatal alcohol exposure and exposure to the human immunodeficiency virus and antiretroviral drugs in neonates and children.
