Gary Ge Successfully Defends PhD Thesis

Congratulations to Gary Ge who successfully defended his PhD thesis titled “Reverberant Elastography and Speckle Analysis for Brain Characterization.” Gary's public defense took place on Monday, April 17, 2023, immediately followed by a closed-door defense session. Gary has been supervised by Professor Kevin Parker and Professor Jannick Rolland (Institute of Optics). His PhD committee was chaired by Dr. Kerry O’Banion (Neuroscience) and included Dr. Maiken Nedergaard (Center for Translational Neuromedicine). Gary is a student in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/PhD) here at the University of Rochester; he will now move on to complete his MD requirements. Kudos to Gary on pariticipating in this rigorous program, coupling a PhD in Optics with an MD degree, and many thanks for his hard work and significant contributions to Professor Parker's Medical Imaging Research Group!
