J.A. (Juan Antonio) Hernandez-Tamames, Prof.

Juan Hernandez-Tamames received his MSc degree in Physics from Complutense University in Madrid (Spain) in 1992. He received his PhD degree (cum laude) in Biomedical Engineering from Polytechnic University also in Madrid in 1999 with a dissertation about Wavelet Transforms in fMRI.  He obtained several academic positions as Assistant Professor at Complutense University and at Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid between 1999 and 2002. In 2000 he was visiting professor at the Institute of Psychiatry in London (King’s College of London). In 2002 he obtained a permanent position as Associate Professor at Rey Juan Carlos University.   From 2004 to 2015 he was the Head of Medical Image Analysis and Biometry Lab at Rey Juan Carlos University. From 2007 to 2014 he was the head of the Electronics Department at Rey Juan Carlos University. From 2008 to 2014 he was the director of the MR Physics Group in the Queen Sofia Research Center for Alzheimer’s Disease in Madrid. From 2010 to 2015 he was faculty of the MIT program M+Vision for medical imaging training and mentoring. He was member of the management committee of the EU COST Action “ASL in Dementia”. Since 2013 he is qualified as “full professor” by the Spanish Professorship’s Accreditation System (ANECA).  He has been PI of several national and international research projects.

With my team and in cooperation with other research groups at Erasmus MC, I'm  participating in several important research projects. Some meaningful examples are: “HARPS, It is an Erasmus MC MRace grant, for Harmonizing the Acquisition in Multiple MR scanners for population studies using Artificial Intelligence”. “Vascular Signature Mapping of Brain Tumor Genotypes" is an NWO national grant in collaboration with LUMC. “Deep MR-only Radiotherapy Planning”,  European EIT Healthcare project in collaboration with GE Healthcare, the EMC Radiotherapy department and the New Castle University (UK)”. "MR-Physiological Signature", to obtain quantitative territorial maps from gliomas, in collaboration with GE Healtcare.
