About the author
Xingxing Zhang was born on the 17th of November in Jiangsu, China. He spent his
childhood in Rugao, one of the most attractive county-level city in Jiangsu, where he graduated from Rugao Middle School in 2005. In the same year, he moved to Shanghai and studied biological engineering at the Shanghai Univeirsity.
After three years in Shangai, he was admitted to a Master program at the University of Technology of Compiegne in France. In 2011, he obtained his master degree, specializing in Science and Technology for the Health (Biomedical Engineering). Subsequently, he started his PhD research project at the C.J. Gorter Center for High Field MRI, Department of Radiology, Leiden University Medical Center under supervision of his promotor prof. dr. Andrew Webb and co-promotor prof. dr. Matthias J.P. van Osch.

Acknowledgements
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have supported me going through this part of my life. It’s been a great honor to study and work with great scientists both inside and outside of the Leiden University Medical Center. They have provided me with a great intellectual ambiance for conducting my PhD research project.
Firstly, I would like to express my special appreciation and thanks to my supervisors Prof. Dr. Andrew Webb and Prof. Dr. Matthias J.P van Osch. Dear Andrew and Thijs, I have learned many things from you, you guys act not only as supervisors but also as friends. I really enjoyed working with you and couldn’t get my PhD research project done without your continuous support, your patience, your immense knowledge and motivation. I could not have imagined having better advisors and mentors for my PhD study.
My sincere thanks also go to my lovely labmates, for the helpful and stimulating discussions, for the endless support. Dear Eidrees, Sophie, Wouter, Itamar, Sebastian, Hermien, Francesca, Ece, Natalie, Wyger, Jasper, Maarteen, Joep, Mathijs, and all the Gorter group, thank you all for your friendship, precious support, all the laughs and fun we had during my life in Leiden. I’d like to thank all my collaborators outside of LUMC as well. Dear Jeroen, Esben, Jill, Nolan, Rik, your smart comments have always great impact on my scientific career.
