TuanKhai Nguyen
Biomedical Engineering
Overview:
TuanKhai is currently a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering Ph.D.
student at Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science with Dr. Mark
Does and Dr. Kevin Harkins. His research interests include MRI method
development to examine micro-structural changes in the context of
neuro-degenerative white-matter diseases. He specifically looks at axonal
properties via simulations and optimizations of parameters in diffusion MRI
processes. With the imaging methods developed, the far-reaching goal of his
research is to assist with therapeutic efforts for patients experiencing
neuro-immunological diseases.
TuanKhai enjoys doing outreach to inspire in future
generations the passion for science and engineering. He is part of the
NanoGuides team in the VINSE Microfluidics and Analytical Lab.
