Sebastian studied Electrical and Biomedical Engineering and obtained his PhD degree and the Venia legendi from ETH Zurich in 2000 and 2005, respectively. In 2002-03 he was a research associate at the Division of Imaging Sciences at King’s College London. In 2003 he co-founded the startup company GyroTools to help translating imaging research into applicable prototypes for Magnetic Resonance (MR) experimentalists and clinicians. He was elected as a Professor and Chair of MR Physics at King’s College London in 2008 before being promoted to Professor at the University of Zurich in 2010. In October 2014 he joined ETH as a Full Professor holding a dual appointment also at the Medical and Natural Sciences faculty of the University of Zurich. He is the chairman of EXCITE Zurich, a joint competence center to promote the development and application of experimental and clinical imaging technologies.

Sebastian Kozerke’s research interests include Magnetic Resonance imaging methodology with focus on ultra-fast dynamic imaging of perfusion, function and cardiac mechanics. A number of contributions to the field of k-t undersampling and parallel imaging methods have permitted important advances in spatiotemporal resolution and scanning speed for various applications. Other fields of activity concern probing of microstructure of moving organs using diffusion imaging methods. Recent research work also includes real-time imaging of substrate metabolism using dynamic nuclear polarization techniques.
