Graduates

Daniah Al-Amili, MBChB, received her doctor of medicine degree from the Medical School of Baghdad University in Iraq. She completed a radiology residency at the Specialty Hospital in Jordan before relocating to the United States, where she has been a dedicated volunteer and participant in the Transforming Care at the Bedside program at Cedars-Sinai. She has experience with CT and ultrasound imaging techniques, and she looks forward to studying magnetic resonance in medicine.

Taylor received her bachelor of science degree in medical physics from East Central University in Oklahoma, where she attended on an athletic scholarship as a four-year starter on the regional championship-winning cross country team and graduated with honors as a member of Sigma Phi Sigma. Taylor is originally from Las Vegas, where she was nominated as a Las Vegas Female High School Athlete of the Year and was the Nevada representative on the USA National West Team. Taylor currently is enlisted in the US Army as a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear specialist.

Cody Lynch received his bachelor of science degree in applied physics at Sonoma State University in 2017. Cody will now be working on completing his master's of science in magnetic resonance in medicine at Cedars-Sinai.

Adebola Aragbaye studied physics and electronics (BSC) at Adekunle Ajasin, University of Nigeria. He has a Master of Science in Medical Physics from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. Adebola's research interests includes the planning of radiotherapy treatment using MRI images and research on image-guided high-dose brachytherapy using MRI optimizing accurate dose delivery. After graduation, Adebola will continue his PhD research in the fight against cancer as well as early detection from cellular level of cells and treatments.

Karandeep Cheema (Karan) graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics in 2017. His passion is applying physics in action (i.e., using it practically), which inspired him to join the master's program in Medical Imaging at Cedars-Sinai. He is excited to work with world class researchers who use state of the art equipment to help image the body and develop novel imaging techniques. His primary research interests lie in using deep learning software to quantify the health of an organ/organ system and hence, produce faster, objective and more accurate diagnosis. After finishing his master's program, he plans to obtain the doctoral degree in the field of biomedical engineering or be employed and work for Siemens.

Meng Lyu graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor's degree in Bio-medical Engineering in 2017. Meng Lyu established the interests in MR science during the summer intern experience at Chinese PLA General Hospital which lead him to Join the Master of Science in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He interests in MR sequences programming target to various disease and tissues. After the program, Meng intends to pursue a doctoral degree in a bio-medical engineering related field.

Jhelum Paul completed her Bachelor of Technology in biomedical engineering at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India, in 2016. She has experience working as programmer analyst on projects consisting of developing codes in Java and Angular 2/4. Jhelum's research interests include focusing on imaging, specially neuro-imaging, and studying memory related parts of brain. Her plans after graduate school include conducting research related to neuroscience, detecting and diagnosing causes of various muscle impairment and unusual electrical activity in the brain working towards developing new therapies.

Ju Yeol Shin received his Bachelor of Science degree at University of California, Davis, majoring in physics with an emphasis in astrophysics. Since he is also interested in the field of human physiology and anatomy, he is pursuing the goal of developing novel MR imaging techniques where physics and medicine intersect. He is currently focusing on applications for the detection of cardiovascular disease and adult brain function.
