She is currently studying eating disorders with Harvard STRIPED at the Boston Children’s Hospital in order to tackle the stigma against mental illnesses. She is interested in further studying eating disorders, mental illnesses, psychology and medicine. In the future, she hopes to pursue a career in clinical psychology and biomedical engineering. 

Mina has received her Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Irvine, in 2020. Her main area of research is developing machine learning and deep learning algorithms with applications in healthcare, medical devices, and predictive medicine. During her graduate studies, she extensively worked in multidisciplinary projects to develop innovative ML platforms for patients' physiological monitoring and early prediction of hypotensive events in ICUs. She has also worked as an intern at Edward Lifesciences Co. and fostered collaboration with anesthesiologists and researchers at Cleveland Clinics, to increase the impact of her research on real-world field applications.

Rena received her Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering at Hofstra University with a concentration in biomechanics and research in the Hofstra Ultrasound Laboratory. She is starting a PhD at the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering in August 2021. Her research interests include imaging diagnostics and imaging instrumentation. 

Frida Galaviz Huerta was born in Zacatecas, Mexico in 2000 and is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree at New York University. Frida studies Psychology with a triple minor in Linguistics, Chemistry, and Child/Adolescent Mental Studies (CAMS) and is interested in neuroscience research related to infants and adolescents. She graduates May 2022 and hopes to pursue a graduate degree.

Dr. Gökyar's research interests include, design, demonstration and characterization of the RF devices, instrumentation of MRI devices, high resolution MR imaging, RF safety of electronic devices, metamaterials and implantable electronic devices for wireless sensing. He has hands-on clean room experience since 2009. He recently focuses on ultra-high field (UHF) MRI and novel solutions for the problems of UHF-MRI.

Bal Govind received his M.S degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 2018 and 2021 respectively.

Vishwas received his B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati in 2020. He is presently a first year graduate student in Physiology, Biophysics and Systems Biology (PBSB) program at Weill Cornell Graduate School and his main research interests lie in the field of computational neuroscience and systems biology. In Winkler lab he is working on MR guided Focused Ultrasound coils and their implications in targeted tissue thermal ablation for treating neuropathic pain.

Arthur Nghiem was born in Houston in 2003. After graduating from high school a year early, he is an undergraduate sophomore studying biomedical engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. He is the principal inventor of the wireless communication device grip guide, for which he was granted a USPTO patent in 2017. He previously conducted literature review regarding the use of high-temperature superconductors for accessible MRI applications under the supervision of Dr. John Thomas Vaughan of Columbia University. He was nominated for the 2019 IEEE Region 4 Outstanding Student Award for his contributions to technical workshops regarding MRI safety and wireless medical devices. His work at the Winkler Lab focuses on the generation and curation of datasets for deep learning of tissue heating prediction in Ultra High-Field MRI
