Brief Biographical Sketch:

I studied Neuroscience at Northeastern University and did research as an undergraduate there. I then worked at MIT in BE and BCS doing research and now at Brigham and Women's Hospital while working toward applying to MD/PhD programs. I have worked with animals doing research on different topics in neuroscience utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging and different behavioral paradigms. I would like to teach a course on MRI because I find the physics behind it very interesting and would love to share that information!

S9105: How Does MRI Work?! A Look Inside the Body! in Splash 2014 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2014)
Have you ever wondered how an MRI image is made? How a doctor can diagnose a problem without opening up the body!? Well if so, come check out this course to learn about the physics behind MRI's and its many applications including how we can now read your mind!


S7449: How Does MRI and Functional MRI Work?! in Splash! 2013 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2013)
Ever wanted to know what the inside of your body looks like in detail? Or see the inter-workings of your brain!?! Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has revolutionized how doctors and scientists non-invasively explore and examine the inside of our bodies and diagnose a wide array of diseases and disorders. Utilizing this technique, scientists have learned an immense amount of new information about the different organ systems, especially the brain. Come explore with me how this technique works and is applied, including how it can be used to predict what you are thinking and feeling without you even saying a word!
