Hi! My name is Mira Liu and I am a current Postdoctoral Fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Institute. My work focuses on translation of MR physics with a focus on non-contrast perfusion and diffusion MRI. I was awarded a NIH Center for Translational Sciences Advancement TL1 fellowship at Mount Sinai to support my research on spectral diffusion and multiparametric MRI in kidney transplants and kidney masses with Drs. Lewis, Bane, and Taouli.

I was previously a NSF graduate fellow at the CAMPEP accredited PhD program in Medical Physics at the University of Chicago. My dissertation was on quantitative MR perfusion (DSC, IVIM, SPECT, microspheres) and its application in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of acute ischemic stroke and cerebrovascular disease with Dr. Timothy Carroll.

I have also worked in muon tomography and observational cosmology, with an Honors Bachelors thesis in Physics for my work in Astrophysics on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation and calibration of a novel compact Fourier transform spectrometer for the South Pole Telescope, and a minor in Philosophy.
