Joseph Busher is a second year Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering who is currently researching the topic of broadband decoupling of array coil elements in order to enable multi-tuned array coils. Joey has an overall interest in using multi-nuclear imaging and spectroscopy to characterize disease, with a particular interest in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. |
Edith Valle is a second year Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering with a research interest in developing hardware to detect multiple nuclei without having to switch coils or move the sample or animal. Her work currently is being applied to the Golden Retriever Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. |
