Joseph Rispoli

Active Mentor - currently hosting PULSe students for laboratory rotations and recruiting PULSe students into the laboratory; serves on preliminary exam committees

Current Research Interests:

Dr. Rispoli’s research incorporates novel methodology and instrumentation for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. He is particularly interested in anatomically-tailored radiofrequency coil design and in vivo spectroscopy, for research applications in neuroscience and breast cancer.
