Dr. McNab is an MRI Physicist focused on the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast mechanisms and acquisition strategies that yield new and/or improved images of the in vivo human brain. Over the past two decades, she has developed numerous MRI acquisition methods, with her primary contributions being in the field of diffusion MRI. Dr. McNab has extensive experience with the most cutting-edge MRI technology, including the world's strongest and fastest human-MRI gradients, highly-parallelized phased-array RF coils and ultra-high magnetic field. Dr. McNab is Senior Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and a Distinguished Investigator of The Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research.

Dr. Erpeng Dai's research interest is focused on advanced neuro MRI technique development and application. Previously, he has developed a series of novel techniques for high-resolution and fast diffusion MRI (dMRI). Currently, he is mainly working on distortion-free dMRI, advanced diffusion encoding, and brain microstructure and connectivity studies.

I am a research scientist at the Stanford Department of Radiology Lucas Center for Imaging in Dr Jennifer McNab's lab. My current projects include MRI-based diffusion tractography in patients with neuropsychiatric conditions (e.g., pain and depression), who undergo stereoencephalography (SEEG). This is a personalized, invasive form of electrical stimulation and recording of brain electrical signals that aims to guide subsequent neurosurgery.
