Alumni

Dan Ginsburg

Dan held the position of Principle Software Architect at the FNNDSC, where his interests included 3D graphics, visualization, high-performance computing, and GPGPU. He left the FNNDSC in July 2011 to start his own comany, Upsample Software, LLC., that offers consulting services with specialization in 3D Graphics and GPU Computing.


Danielle Sliva

Danielle joined the Center in 2009, and held the position of Research Assistant from 2009-2011.  She received her B.S. with honors in Neuroscience from Lafayette College.  Her research interests included neuroimaging analyses, and improving the safety and efficiency of pediatric MRI.  Danielle is currently enrolled in the Master of Arts Program for Bioimaging at Boston University.


Jae Won Song

Dr. Jae Song was a Research Fellow in our Center from 2011-2012. She was investigating the connectivity of developing human fetal, neonatal, and toddler brains using high-resolution diffusion imaging and tractography. She was also interested in characterizing the hemispheric asymmetry of white matter tracts in the developing fetal and neonatal human brains. Jae is currently performing her Radiology resindency at Drexel University. 


Natsuko Mori

Natsuko was a Research Technologist in our center from 2011-2012. She was working at the FNNDSC MEG lab and her research interests included anatomical and functional fetal brain development.
