Carlos Castillo Passi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioCarlos Castillo-Passi began his academic journey at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile (PUC), where he earned both a degree and an MSc in Electrical Engineering in 2018. He then pursued a PhD in Biological and Medical Engineering through a joint program between PUC and King’s College London (KCL), completing it with maximum distinction in 2024. His research focused on the design of low-field cardiac MRI sequences using open-source MRI simulations. In 2023, his work on open-source MRI simulations was highlighted by the editor of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (MRM). Furthermore, his application of this work to low-field cardiac MRI earned him the Early Career Award in Basic Science from the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) in 2024. In addition to his research, Carlos is an active member of JuliaHealth, contributing to the development of high-performance, reproducible tools for health and medicine. In 2025, he joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral researcher, where he continues his work in cardiac MRI and open-source technologies.

Tyler Edward Cork
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrently, I am involved in two main projects. The first is developing 3D printing techniques to improve the accuracy of ex vivo geometrical and microstructural cardiac modeling from in vivo cardiac MR acquisitions. The second is applying machine learning applications to MRI data as a way to improve overall image quality and reduce acquisition time.

Charles McGrath
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
BioCharles McGrath is a postdoctoral scholar at the Radiological Sciences Laboratory (RSL) at Stanford University, working with Dr. Daniel Ennis on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. His research focuses on flow imaging, particularly 4D flow MRI and the quantification of complex hemodynamics and on building open, reproducible simulation tools that support methods development across the cardiovascular MR community.
He earned his Dr.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from ETH Zurich in 2024, advised by Prof. Sebastian Kozerke, with a thesis on simulation and optimal sequence design for lower-field cardiovascular MRI. During his doctoral work, he developed referenceless 4D flow MRI techniques using radial balanced SSFP at lower field strengths and contributed to widely used open-source tools for cardiovascular MR simulation (CMRsim) and sequence design (CMRseq). He is an active advocate for open science in the MR community and continues to develop and maintain these tools as part of his research practice. He previously received an M.Sc. with distinction in Biomedical Engineering (Medical Physics) jointly from ETH Zurich, and a B.A.Sc. in Engineering Physics from the University of British Columbia.
