Volkmar Schulz erwarb seinen Dipl.-Ing. auf dem Gebiet der Informationstechnik und seinen Dr.-Ing. auf dem Gebiet der Elektrodynamik und integrierten Optik an der Universität Paderborn. Er begann seine Industriekarriere im Jahr 2000 in den Philips Research Laboratorien in Hamburg im Bereich MR-Hardware und wechselte 2005 in die PET-Physikgruppe in die Philips Philips Research Laboratorien in Aachen, wo er sich auf integrierte PET-MRI-Systeme konzentrierte. Seit 2009 war er Gruppenleiter und Privatdozent am Institut für "Experimentelle Molekulare Bildgebung" an der RWTH Aachen mit dem Schwerpunkt Physik und Instrumentierung von molekularen Bildgebungssystemen. Im Jahr 2011 wurde Volkmar zum Principal Scientist bei Philips Research ernannt. Seit Anfang 2013 ist er ordentlicher Professor und leitet die Abteilung "Physik in molekularen Bildgebungssystemen" (PMI) an der RWTH.

Ziel seiner Abteilung ist es, die physikalischen Grenzen medizinischer Bildgebungstechnologien mit einem starken Fokus auf Instrumentierung und maschinellem Lernen zu erforschen. Dies beinhaltet die Kombination von bestehenden Modalitäten wie Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT), Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET) und anderen neuartigen Bildgebungsmodalitäten wie Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). Die Forschungsgebiete reichen von neuartigen Sensorkonzepten, neuen Detektorgeometrien, Algorithmen zur Kristallidentifikation, neuen Bildrekonstruktionen und dedizierten MRT-Sequenzen für MR-basierte Abschwächungskorrekturverfahren bis hin zu maschinellen Lernmethoden für automatische Computer Decision Support (CDS) Systeme. Im Jahr 2015 baute die das PMI das weltweit erste volldigitale präklinischen PET-MRT-System für die Bildgebung mit dem digitalen SiPM von Philips Digital Photon Counting.
