GOALI: Collaborative Research: RF Technology for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

0101059赖特这个行业/大学合作项目，与行业学术联络（GOALI）倡议的赠款机会的一个组成部分，涉及教师和学生在得克萨斯州农工大学（TAMU）和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥（UIC）与通用电气医疗系统（GEMS）的执业工程师合作，作为一个新的研究/教育计划的参与者，结合博士学位，在射频技术方面的研究，以及在最先进的磁共振成像（MRI）系统方面的行业经验。该活动旨在支持创新，合作的产业-大学研究和教育计划的发展。将为8名博士提供支持。学生（四个在TAMU [本项目]和四个在UIC [奖项0101029]），谁将共同建议由大学教师和工业科学家/工程师。这些学生将花一个学期或夏季每年在GEMS做研究。 在应用科学实验室的GEMS居住期间，学生将获得先进的MRI系统设计和测试设备，并在工业联合首席研究员的监督下工作，他们也将担任学生的博士学位成员。咨询委员会。此外，六名GEMS高级工程师/科学家将作为学生的导师参与该项目。该项目有望建立一个新的模式，为产业/大学合作研究和教育计划在博士。MRI工程师

0101059WrightThis Industry/University Collaborative project, a component of the Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) initiative, involves faculty and students at Texas A&M University (TAMU) and the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) teamed with practicing engineers at General Electric Medical Systems (GEMS) as participants in a new research/educational program combining Ph.D. research in RF technology with industrial experience in state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. The activity is to support development of innovative, collaborative industry-university research and educational programs. Support will be provided for eight Ph.D. students (four at TAMU [this project] and four at UIC [award 0101029]), who will be co-advised by university faculty and industrial scientist/engineers. These students will spend one semester or summer each year doing research at GEMS. While in residence at GEMS in the Applied Sciences Laboratory, the students will have access to advanced MRI system design and testing equipment and work under the supervision of the industrial Co-Principal investigators, who also will serve as members of the student's Ph.D. advisory committees. Additionally, six senior GEMS engineers/scientists will participate in this project as mentors for the students. This project is expected to establish a new model for industry/university collaborative research and education programs at the Ph.D. level in MRI engineering.
