Increased Lab impact on infant language development research:1. Introduced 4D Multi-Modal state of the art imaging and analytical methods2. Administered Python imaging pipeline toolkit using Github: •Interactive Jupyter Notebooks •MATLAB/Octave •Fortran, F2py, FSLpy, ANTspy, 3D Slicer, Bash, FreeSurfer •SPM & R statistics •python libraries: Numpy, Pandas, Scipy, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib, Nibabel Custom designed and built in house HPC Cluster and extended to AWS using StarCluster using custom configured Docker virtual machines.Influenced public educational policy with findings of key language development indicators.

Provided advanced clinical training in MR technique; taught MR physics and principles of MR acquisition; MR protocol development and optimization; recommended imaging strategies and products; provided technical assistance to customers throughout the USA and Europe.New Product Development: evaluated and provided feedback to manufacturer R&D on clinical utility and optimization of IRB-approved sequences, coils, and beta-test software; made recommendations for clinically optimized sequences and protocols improving image quality and speed.Initiated Siemens integrated coil R&D project leading to complete redesign of RF coil subsystem reducing table time and increasing comfort for combined head with spine, abdomen with pelvis, and full peripheral runoff protocols.Proved diagnostic feasibility for contrast enhanced peripheral runoff MR angiography.

Involved in all operational aspects of MR Research Lab at University of Washington including: On MR Lab Design/Build/Installation Team, MR safety testing, operator training, experimental equipment, coil design, development, and testing, sequence development, protocol development, paradigm development, data acquisition and QA, data management, post processing, data interpretation, publication, assist in grant proposals, trouble shooting and service, liaison with vendor R&D, admin and billing. Developed and implemented new techniques at UW such as DTI, HARDI, diffusion kurtosis, B0 mapping, JRES, SECSI, 31P CSI, double echo perfusion (Sorenson), and QBOLD.Created rapid, collaborative pilot project program with Principle Investigators testing new hypotheses with novel acquisition methods obtaining pilot data leading to faster successful grant applications, newly funded projects, and the financial recovery of the Research Lab.

Senior MRI clinical operations: protocol development, complex cases, staff training, image quality control, vendor relations, software and equipment evaluation, beta testing, and troubleshooting. Interacted with other clinical disciplines including radiology, neurology/neurosurgery, orthopedics, internal medicine, psychiatry, clinical and pure research.Implemented senior expediter role increasing efficiency, throughput, revenue, safety, and patient satisfaction.
