Mehmet Akcakaya, Ph.D.

Dr. Akcakaya was a research fellow from 2010-2012 and an Instructor of Medicine from 2012 to 2015 in Dr. Nezafat's laboratory. He subsequently joined the University of Minesotta as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Akcakaya led development of accelerated imaging with compressed sensing during his tenure at BIDMC. He was the recepient of an NIH K99-R00 Award and a finalist for the ISMRM Young Investigator Award.
