Michael Albert Thomas
Michael Albert Thomas (M. Albert Thomas) is an Indian-American physicist, academic, and clinical researcher. He is a Professor-in-Residence of Radiological Sciences, and Psychiatry at the Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is most known for developing novel single voxel based 2D NMR techniques (L-COSY and JPRESS), multi-voxel 2D MRS techniques (4D/5D echo-planar correlated and J-resolved spectroscopic Imaging, EP-COSI/EP-JRESI) using hybrid Cartesian as well as non-Cartesian spatio-temporal encoding such as concentric ring, radial and rosette trajectories.Thomas has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications and 12 book chapters. His research is focused on the physics of Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, with particular emphasis on the development and evaluation of Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) techniques in the context of healthy tissues and different pathologies.
Thomas is a life member of National Magnetic Resonance Society of India (NMRS). He was elected to the Experimental NMR Conference (ENC) executive committee in 2014, and was appointed the Chair of the 61st ENC in 2020. He became a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) in 2018. He also served as an Associate Editor of ''Magnetic Resonance Insights'', and is currently an associate editorial member of ''Medicine and Frontiers Oncology''. Provided by Wikipedia
