Dr. Jagadeesan is a Neurointerventional Radiologist who is investigating the physiopathology of cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and carotid artery diseases. Besides state-of-the-art vascular imaging resources in the Neuroradiology Department and at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR), Dr. Jagadeesan's lab provides access to a streamlined process, developed with experts in Mechanical Engineering, where vascular lesions imaged in-vivo (e.g. brain aneurysms) are 3D printed and embedded in dynamic fluid circuitry, allowing for direct comparison between in-vivo and in-vitro measurements. In this project, the candidate will be co-mentored by Dr. B. Jagadeesan, Dr. P.F. Van de Moortele (MR Physics and Methods), and will interact with a collaborating team (Mechanical Engineering in Fluid Dynamics) led by Dr. O. Amily at the University of Toledo, MI. MR acquisitions will take place at the CMRR, University of Minnesota, a renowned pioneering center in High Field MR methods and engineering. The CMRR hosts 6 human Siemens scanners (three @3T, two @7T, one @10.5T) as well as two Bruker animal MR scanners (9.4T and 16.4T). Qualifications Required Qualifications: * Ph.D. or Equivalent in Physics, Engineering, Computer Science or Biomedical Engineering * Background in MR physics * Experience in Signal or Image processing * Programming skills (at least one of the following languages: Matlab, C++, Python) * Contact information for two academic and/or professional references Preferred Qualifications * MR sequence programming * Some training in Fluid Dynamics How To Apply Applications must be submitted online.
