UWO MR Systems Development Lab Personel
The UWO MR Systems Development Lab is led by Canada Research Chair, Professor Blaine Chronik. The current group is comprised of Professor Chronik, Research Scientist, Dr. William Handler, and Prof Timothy Scholl (who has his own research group at Robarts Research Institute), and five graduate students. During the summer months these numbers swell as a number of undergraduate students work at various research projects.
