Magnetic Resonance Class Projects:

This course is designed to provide an overview of methods in magnetic resonance including NMR, MRI and MRS. Class projects are designed to allow students to obtain practical experience in one specific area of magnetic resonance that best suits their research interests. All projects must be submitted electronically and written in ms-word, pages or latex. The original typeset files, PDF version and all associated data files should be submitted as a single zip file. For additional credit, a video podcast version can also be submitted.  The instructor must approve project topics and outlines and the due dates are listed below:

Topic Approval Project Due Date
Project 1 Feb. 28 (Approved Topics List) Mar. 28 (revise Apr. 13)
Project 2 Apr. 18 (Approved Topics List) May 7 (no revisions)
Magnetic Resonance has a plethora of different types of experiments, probe designs, pulse sequences, data collection techniques, and data simulation and modeling methods.  This large variety of methods in magnetic resonance and can make it overwhelming for new scientists trying to learn how-to setup and perform a specific experiment. Class projects will all have a common section scheme and taken together will provide the nucleus for a series of How-To guides in magnetic resonance. Each project will have the goal of providing a self-contained How-To guide on one specific Method in magnetic resonance. Specifically, the written project should enable the reader to understand the general technique and provide a learn by doing guideline. More details can be found in the course syllabus.

Project must be submitted to Prof. Yarger in PSB255. Late projects will NOT be accepted.
