Dr. Daniel Wenz obtained his Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and Master of Science (MSc) degrees in Medical Physics from AGH University of Kraków in 2014. He then moved to Germany, where he conducted doctoral research at the Berlin Ultrahigh Field Facility of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in collaboration with Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, earning his PhD in 2020. Since 2019, Dr. Wenz has been a Research Staff Scientist at the CIBM Center for Biomedical Imaging at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Switzerland. His research focuses on developing innovative RF technologies and hardware solutions for advanced clinical and neuroscientific MRI applications, including physiometabolic imaging, multinuclear MRI, and hybrid systems integrating MRI with transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation and electroencephalography (EEG). Since October 2025, he has served as MRI Hardware Laboratory Manager, overseeing the development, implementation, and operation of advanced MRI hardware technologies.

Since May 2026, Dr. Wenz has also been the Principal Investigator of a four-year project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The project has secured approximately CHF 813,000 in competitive funding to support the development of next-generation technologies for non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging.
