Tao Wang Recommendation
It is my pleasure to provide my letter of recommendation for Tao Wang who is applying for admission to your Ph.D. program.
I am a Professor of Radiology, Ophthalmology, Neurology and Biomedical Engineering and the Vice Chair for Research of the Department of Radiology at Stony Brook University. My research programs focus on the development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to the study of brain and retinal anatomy, physiology and function in animal models and humans. They include: (1) novel methodologies to dynamically measure cerebral blood flow, tissue oxygen tension, blood volume; (2) high-resolution functional MRI techniques for mapping layer-specific and columnar organization; (3) blood blow, oxygenation and function of the retina and brain; and (4) anatomical, physiological and functional characterization and prediction of tissue fates in stroke, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis. Our group published over 200 peer-reviewed journal papers. Our works are currently funded by multiple federal grants with the key ones from the National Institute of Health. My past funding portfolio include grants from National Institute of Health, foundation …show more content…
He is never afraid to confront challenges. In fact, whenever presented with a new project which he has no prior experience with, Tao never heists and fully commits to the new challenges-- he is constantly seeking personal and professional growth. Also, he proactively seeks out feedback on his research performance and is committed to accelerating his results and productivity, and producing the highest caliber of research. I really appreciate and am impressed by his seriousness in working on Medical Physics related research. He gets along very well with every member in my lab. I offer my strongest possible support for Tao’s application without hesitation. Feel free to contact me if you need additional
