Biography
Cullen Ryan is a graduate student with a past basis in electrical engineering, controls engineering, and machine vision in automation. His undergraduate studies at SUNY New Paltz were focused on microelectromechanical systems, power electronics, and wireless power transfer. Following early graduation from SUNY New Paltz at the end of 2016, he delved into designing and implementing optomechanical systems at Corning Inc for five years. Through this time at Corning, he explored motion control systems, light sensing technologies, and programmatic image analysis for their applications in the manufacture of specialized glass materials. In returning to academia, he aspires to further our functional grasp of in vivo brain anatomy through medical imaging, bioelectricity sensing, and modeling neural circuitry.
He joined the MR SCIENCE lab at the start of 2023 to develop software for clinical and educational MRS simulation, aiming to recreate and display realistic models of physics and chemistry in the human brain in response to various MR conditions.
