Bio
I joined IUSM as Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences and became a tenured Associate Professor in 2019. I received a MD degree and license in Taiwan. Later, I earned my PhD in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006.
While I am a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Physicist by training, my research focuses on diffusion physics in biologic system using diffusion MRI. I started to work on diffusion MRI extensively in my graduate education. I continued to advance in this field independently at Dartmouth College (2009-2013) and currently at Indiana University School of Medicine.
