Graduate Student Researcher

Research – My primary research areas include pulse sequence development, reconstruction and acceleration techniques for multi-dimensional magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI).

Research Interests – Non-Cartesian echo-planar spatial-spectral data acquisitions for accelerated (1D and 2D spectral) MRSI. 

Background –  I received the B.S. degree in Physics and the B.S. degree in Mathematics from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2009 before entering the Physics and Biology in Medicine (PBM) Interdepartmental Program at UCLA in 2012. I received the M.S. degree in Biomedical Physics in 2016, and am currently a PhD candidate in the PBM program. 

Favorite thing about UCLA – The atmosphere and location, excellent academic opportunities, and a great community of students and faculty at UCLA.
