Hannah Alderson-Rasmussen

I completed my graduate studies at VUIIS under the direction of Mark Does and Kevin Harkins. My dissertation focused on evaluating a novel diffusion time dependent, MRI-derived surrogate for axon diameter in ex vivo neural tissues.

I am currently pursuing postdoctoral research under the guidance of Seth Smith and Kristin O’Grady, where I focus on translating quantitative MRI (qMRI) methods commonly used for brain imaging to the human spinal cord.
