2019 PhD Graduate in Biophysics
Dissertation Title: Retrospective Motion Correction for Magnetic Resonance Imaging PhD Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Lawrence Wald, Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital
I worked on MRI research as a graduate student in the lab of Larry Wald at the A. A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging for my dissertation research. As an undergraduate I majored in Physics and minored in Computer Science, and to support my graduate work I was awarded the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in 2015. During my thesis work, I focused my research efforts towards applications of numerical methods and optimization to improve magnetic resonance image reconstruction. I was specifically interested in motion correcting image reconstruction.
