PhD Student: Medical Physics
Graduate Adviser: PF Van de Moortele, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Radiology
Undergraduate: B.A. Physics, Religion from St. Olaf College, MN
Research Focus: I will be looking into the response of Trigeminal Neuralgia, a neurological condition characterized by debilitating facial pain, to various surgical procedures at ultrahigh field strength. To start I will verify with B1 mapping and MR thermometry that the titanium mesh commonly used in the surgical procedures is MR safe at ultrahigh field strengths.
Enjoys: Cycling, bird-watching, my retired racing greyhound
