EDUCATION:

 

B.S., Engineering Physics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Ph.D., Nuclear Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology


RESEARCH INTERESTS:

 

Magnetic resonance imaging relies on computer programs called pulse sequences to measure a variety of information in the human body.  By manipulating how the MRI pulse sequences acquire data the images can contain structural information, functional information, physiological information, and/or chemical information. My research focuses on the improving the quality of Magnetic Resonance Images through pulse sequence analysis and design.  Current projects include measuring cerebral blood flow to monitor the effects of caffeine and optimizing pulse sequences for detecting MR contrast agents.
