Blake Dewey

I am currently a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Departement of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My research interests include rapid MRI acquisition and myelin imaging with applications to Multiple Sclerosis research. I am co-advised by Dr. Jerry Prince and Dr. Peter van Zijl (Department of Radiology) and supported in part by the Hopkins MS Clinic and Dr. Peter Calabresi.
