Master's Student
Mentor: Reza Nezafat, Ph.D.
Silvio Pflugi was a master's student in Dr. Nezafat's laboratory from 2014-2015, where he pursued a master's thesis on accelerated cardiac MR perfusion using under-sampled radial trajectories. During his time at BIDMC, he first-authored multiple publications under Dr. Nezafat's mentorship. He subsequently joined the University of Bern, where he is currently a PhD candidate.
