Tales Roberto de Souza Santini

​Tales is a Postdoc working with Dr. Corey Baron in advanced diffusion and microstructural techniques for ultra-high field MRI. He received his PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh working on Electromagnetic simulations, 7T RF coil development, MR sequence optimization, and image processing. He also received his MSc and BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Sao Paulo and has industry experience working on hardware and software development for medical electronic devices.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Robarts Research Institute

Nico Arezza

Nico's research involves developing diffusion MRI protocols and using them to study neurodegenerative disorders. He previously completed an MSc at Ryerson University where he investigated methods to detect cell death using optical coherence tomography. In the future, Nico aims to pursue a clinical residency in radiation oncology physics.

Paul Dubovan

I am a Masters Student in Dr. Baron's lab. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Windsor in Medical Physics, where I developed an interest in medical imaging and experimental research. My Project involves the application of real-time eddy current monitoring strategies to eliminate the artifacts created by advanced diffusion MRI techniques.

Naila Rahman

My work involves developing non-invasive MRI acquisition and modelling approaches to enable in vivo tracking of microstructural changes in the brain, such as axon beading, density, and myelination (“microstructural MRI”). Through the use of microstructural MRI, we aim to develop imaging biomarkers for concussion diagnosis and prognosis.
