Edith Valle has recently graduated with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a research interest in developing hardware to detect multiple nuclei without having to move coils or the sample/animal. She has a particular interest in susceptibility imaging and developing low-loss switching networks with novel materials. Her work currently is being applied to the Golden Retriever Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. |
