During the last years, he has served and/or is appointed as the clinical lead for the MRI-PET neuroimaging, the intraoperative MRI, and the ultra-high-field brain MRI programs in his departments. He has accumulated considerable research experience in novel, advanced MR- and CT-techniques as well as hybrid MR/CT-PET imaging in neuroradiology, including also head and neck imaging. The results from his research on translational and clinical oncological imaging and biomarkers have been reported in highly ranked journals in neurosciences and neuroradiology. Currently, he is working in clinical research in dementia. He has (co-) authored more than 110 papers and 8 book chapters and his work has been extensively cited and awarded in international meetings several times. In partnership with the Neurosurgery Department, Expert has introduced intraoperative MRI as a major clinical tool for anatomical and functional intraoperative imaging, which results in better patient care.
In the academia, he teaches medical students and offers training to the residents in Radiology as well as the clinical Fellows in Neuroradiology. He supervises MD and PhD students in UCL and other academic institutions in Europe and Singapore.

Expert has served as external consultant for evaluation of medical software in imaging sciences for the MeVis company, Bremen, Germany and currently is a member of the Advisory Board of the Olea Medical Software, Le Ciotat, France.
