Ph.D Thesis - The design and analysis of high frequency phased array coils for MRI

Hi, welcome to my homepage. I'm from Singapore and presently doing my PhD with

Prof. Stuart Crozier on the " Analysis and Design of High Field Phased Array Coils for MRI "

My main research interests are in Designing & Constructing Phased Array Coil and Fast Parallel Imaging for MRI application.
