Alumni

Sean Nestor
Sean received his Honors Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences with Biology at the University of Western Ontario and a Master's in Medical Biophysics. His project entailed measuring the rate of brain tissue atrophy from structural MRI in subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Sean recently entered medical school at the University of Toronto. Congratulations Sean!

Samuel O. Oduneye
Sam successfully defended his M.Sc. entitled "Design of a Transceive Coil Array for Parallel Imaging at 9.4T" on December 8, 2008.  He will be heading to the University of Toronto in the new year to continue his studies.
Zheng Wang
Zheng successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis "Electrophysiological & Blood Flow Study of Neurovascular Coupling in Primary Visual Cortex" on August 14, 2008.  He will be staying at Robarts for a bit to continue his research in the development and application of electrophysiological recording and optical imaging techniques (including coherent imaging) to clarify the neurophysiological events underlying the BOLD fMRI signal.
