Dr. Corey Baron is a Scientist at the Robarts Research Institute, Associate Professor of Medical Biophysics at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada, and the Canada Research Chair of Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 

Jake received his undergraduate degree in Life Sciences & Physics at Queen's University. His work involves using advanced diffusion MRI techniques to study microstructural changes in the brain following repeated concussion (or mild traumatic brain injury).

Mayuri received an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Western University where she developed an appreciation for biomedical engineering applications. Her work involves developing non-Cartesian acquisitions for diffusion MRI.

In June 2023, Filipe earned a bachelor's degree with honours in Specialized Biophysics from York University. While pursuing his undergraduate degree, he developed a deep admiration for medical imaging, with a particular fondness for MRI, and became increasingly interested in experimental research. He has entered the Ph.D. CAMPEP Medical Biophysics Program at Western University and his research efforts will focus on the application of spiral acquisitions and compressed sensing in fMRI.

Dr. Ricardo Rios-Carrillo received his PhD in biomedical sciences in Mexico, where he also did a bachelor’s degree as a biomedical engineer and a master’s degree in computer science. His PhD project focused on applications of advanced diffusion MRI and machine learning techniques for different models of white matter degeneration. His current research focuses on the application of these technologies for the stratification of dementia in a clinical population. He is also working in the development of new contrasts mechanisms that combine diffusion and relaxometry MRI techniques to quantify iron-accumulation at the microstructure level.

Anthony received his undergraduate degree in the Honours specialization in Neuroscience program here at Western University. During his fourth year, he developed an interest in medical imaging, specifically with MRI, with regards to detecting different medical conditions. His work involves investigating microscopic fractional anisotropy in TLE patients.

​Mia completed her undergraduate degree in Honours Physics at the University of Windsor. During her undergraduate studies, she developed a strong interest in medical physics, particularly in radiobiology and medical imaging. Her research involves advanced diffusion MRI techniques, with potential applications in neurological disorders.
