A highly unusual 15-week semester finally came to an end today, Friday 6/19/2020. The lab members went out for a celebratory lunch in Homaesil, and took a picture in the N center outdoor court area with masks off (!) for two minutes. Such gathering is generally discouraged, and can be frowned upon, but it was determined that any risk is sufficiently low that this modest, once-in-6-months lab activity should go head. During the semester, the BME Electromagnetics course was successfully delivered on-line, and the students' feedback has been positive. The graduate students had two papers accepted in international journals and one brand-new paper is now under consideration. The multi-orientation B1 mapping data were collected with very promising vector B1 field results, and the human 7T head coil engineering is making slow progress. Some of the research highlights will be posted soon on this site. In the summer, neither the department nor the lab has any active plans for summer internship. Exchanges and visits of intern students will generally be suppressed across the country for the year. In many labs more time will be spent for internal research and self development.
