Professor Liu, Victor, Folk, and Giulia inducted into the Bakar Fellows Program!

Prof. Chunlei Liu has been inducted into the Bakar Fellows Program as Faculty Fellow to support translating the group's research on the ADAPT coil to commercial applications. Assistant Project Scientist Victor, and Postdocs Folk and Giulia were inducted as Innovation Fellows to support this effort. The Bakar Fellows Program is structured to catalyze commercialization of innovative research by supporting aspiring faculty entrepreneurs and their research teams to develop real-world solutions for real-world problems. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Victor Han, Finalist for ISMRM I.I. Rabi Award!

Victor Han was selected as a finalist for the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) I.I. Rabi Young Investigator Award for original basic research. He was chosen for his paper entitled “Multiphoton Magnetic Resonance Imaging,” in which he developed a novel technique that excites multiphoton resonances to generate signal for MRI by using multiple magnetic field frequencies, none of which is near the Larmor frequency.

Congratulations to Trisha Shang! Paola S. Timiras Memorial Prize

Awarded to the top graduating senior in the Cell & Developmental Biology emphasis for high academic achievement and excellence of research in an honors project. Congratulations!
