I started studying Medical Physics at UChicago in 2019 after a gap year doing research in MRI of the brain. I also went to UChicago for a B.A. in physics and philosophy with an undergraduate thesis in astrophysics. I am currently a member of Dr. Carroll’s lab and doing further research on non-invasive quantitative perfusion-diffusion MR of the brain for study of neurological disease such as stroke and Alzheimers. I’ve enjoyed getting to explore all of the different neighborhoods in Chicago, downtown music festivals, and curling up with a book, a cat, and some tea during Chicago winters.
