Matthew completed his Ph.D. at Texas A&M University under the mentorship of Dr. Mary McDougall, later joining Vanderbilt University as a post-doctoral fellow under Dr. Will Grissom. Past research activities include development of novel hardware for MR imaging and spectroscopy systems with his current research activities focusing on further development of phased array RF coil technology. Along with typical clinical designs using phased arrays, Matthew's research aims to extend the use of this technology for high-field and multi-nuclear experiments.
