Sergei Turovets

Senior Computational Physicist

My current research interests include MRI physics, biomedical engineering and physiological measurements, mathematical modeling and numerical methods in neuroscience and brain imaging, development of the finite difference and finite element methods for solving biologically relevant problems of mathematical physics, in particular, in electrical impedance and diffuse optical tomography. I received the MS degree in Physics from Moscow State University and the PhD degree in Physics from Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences, Minsk, Belarus.
