Information |
| Steven Allen |
  |
Steven has been working in the BIRL lab for 7 months now. His projects include B1 mapping and sodium imaging. He enjoys math and science, basketball, hiking, and good books. Steven is fiercely proud of his hometown, Albuquerque, NM, where he was born and raised. He is a senior majoring in physics and hopes to study MRI and other medical imaging modalities in graduate school. |
| Hyrum Griffin |
  |
Hyrum Griffin is a Junior, majoring in Electrical Engineering. He is currently researching new fMRI techniques using sodium, and is also working on the project "MRI for Early Detection of Osteoarthritis." His interests range from Computer Science to Medicine, covering all the science cores in-between. Hyrum is happily married and loves spending time with his wife and family. |
| Danny Park |
  |
Danny's interest in MRI started with a senior project where he helped design a resonator coil in Winter 2009. He joined the group as a PhD student the following summer. Currently he is working on pulse sequence development and coil design.
Danny is happily married with two children. He enjoys spending most of his free time with family. Any left over spare time is spent tinkering with the computer or working with his hands. |
| Brock Peterson |
  |
Brock's current research involves RF surface and birdcage coil building and tuning, Sodium Quantitation in MRI, and an algorithm for segmentation of Sodium on a Hydrogen scan. He is currently the group's network and website administrator. He is a senior majoring in Electrical Engineering.
Brock has been happily married since March 2008. His interests have grown in the nanoscale and MEMS areas of research, branching into optics as well. |
| Brady Quist |
 ![]() |
Brady Quist is a senior majoring in Electrical Engineering. He has been a research assistant for a year and a half. For his first year, Brady worked in the Microwave Earth Remote Sensing (MERS) Lab. While there he worked on algorithms for and production of Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR). This includes work on a back-projection algorithm and an automated detection algorithm.
For the last 7 months, Brady has worked in the BIRL group. While his initial work included coil construction, he has begun to focus more on balanced SSFP. He is currently working on a fat-suppression method using multi-acquisition bSSFP. |
