Dr. Philip Batchehor (1967–2011)

Mathematicians are born, not made

Jules Henri Poincaré

This book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Philip Batchelor, who tragically died in a climbing accident while close to completing work on Chapter 11. Born in Cornwall in England but brought up in Vouvry in Switzerland he was always proud of both sides to his heritage. A truly gifted mathematician, he devoted his talents to medical imaging, where he made many valuable contributions. He discovered a matrix formalization of motion in MRI, which inspired the field of non-rigid MRI motion correction. In diffusion imaging, he provided a mathematical framework for the treatment of tensors, leading to the geodesic anisotropy measure. More recently, he and co-workers made significant progress in tackling the hugely difficult task of diffusion tensor imaging of the beating heart. A popular senior lecturer in Imaging Sciences at King’s College London, he was highly valued for his teaching as well as his research. He always had time for students, colleagues and anyone who sought his advice. His insight into problems in three dimensions and higher benefited many who were lucky enough to work with him. He would have been delighted to pass on some of his knowledge in this book. Beyond his scientific abilities, it is his warmth, generosity of spirit and consistent smile that will be remembered with affection by colleagues, friends and family alike.
