Xiaoping Wu: Human Connectome Project-style diffusion and functional MRI at 7 Tesla through RF parallel transmission
Reporter：Dr. Xiaoping Wu
Reporter brief：Xiaoping Wu, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR), Department of Radiology, at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Wu received his Bachelor of Engineering (2001) and Master of Engineering (2004) degrees in Engineering Physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. In 2004, Dr. Wu became a graduate student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota and, in 2005, joined the CMRR to pursue his PhD degree. His thesis work was focused on development of radiofrequency (RF) parallel transmission for 9.4 Tesla human MRI and was conducted under the mentorship of both Kamil Ugurbil, Ph.D. and Pierre-Francois van de Moortele, Ph.D. After receiving his Ph.D degree in 2010, Dr. Wu continued to work at the CMRR as a Postdoctoral Associate (2010-2011), Research Associate (2011-2013), Research Track Assistant Professor (2013-2017), and subsequently as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor (2017-present). Dr. Wu’s research interests include parallel transmission RF pulse design, application of parallel transmission to brain and body imaging at ultrahigh field (7 Tesla and above), and RF safety in parallel transmission.
