Cyrano Chatziantoniou

Cyrano Chatziantoniou is a PhD candidate at the Image Sciences Institute (ISI). He studied at Utrecht University, where he received a BSc in Physics & Astronomy (2016), and later a MSc in Medical Imaging (2019).

After that, he worked as a scientific programmer at the UMC, where he developed a tool to detect and analyse small vessels in the brain. In 2020 he started a PhD under the supervision of Alexander Leemans. His research is focused on applying practices in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in research of pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma.
