He directs the Auburn University MRI Research Center that houses a Siemens Skyra 3T MRI scanner and a 7T Siemens Terra.X scanner for research use. His research interests include ultra-high field 7T magnetic resonance imaging, biomedical imaging, medical image analyses and modeling of multi-dimensional stochastic processes.
Richard Edden, MSC, PhD
Dr. Richard Edden is a Professor in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Department of Radiology and Radiological Science. His research focuses on the development of new magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) methods and the application of existing methods to investigate the brain. Dr. Edden received his undergraduate and graduate degree in chemistry from the University of Cambridge as a scholar of Selwyn College. He completed a fellowship at the Schools of Biosciences and Chemistry at Cardiff University in Wales.
Alik Widge, MD/PhD
Dr. Widge is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota where he directs a neuromodulation laboratory that develops new ways of modifying brain circuits to treat mental illness. He has a background in psychiatry and biomedical engineering. In his laboratory, he uses a variety of tools including electrical, magnetic, and optical stimulation to change neural circuitry.
Gaurav Patel, MD, PhD
Dr. Patel is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. He serves as the MRI Technical Director at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) MRI Research Program and the co-director of the Clinical Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Center. His research uses naturalistic stimuli, eye-tracking and fMRI to measure behavioral and social functioning deficits in neuropsychiatric disorders.
