Hello, I'm Yuliang Xiao

I am a PhD student in Prof. Simon Graham’s Lab, interested in MRI coil design and parallel transmission development. I was previously a Robotics master student, supervised by Prof. Russell H. Taylor, at LCSR, Johns Hopkins University. I received my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh and Sichuan University in 2021.
