DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Fessler\nWilliam L. Root Collegiate Professor of EECS\
 nUniversity of Michigan\, USA\nAbstract\nMapping myelin water exchange rat
 es could potentially be useful for understanding and characterizing differ
 ent brain diseases. Quantifying exchange between myelin and non-myelin wat
 er is a challenging parameter estimation problem in MRI. This work conside
 rs a set of balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) scans. We optimi
 ze the scan parameters using Cramer-Rao lower bound methods\, towards the 
 goal of estimating exchange maps with good precision\, for a two-pool mode
 l.\nJoint work with Naveen Murthy\, Jon Nielsen\, Nicole Seiberlich\, Scot
 t Swanson\, Steven Whitaker.\n\nBio\nJeffrey A. Fessler is the William L. 
 Root Professor of EECS at the University of Michigan. He received the BSEE
  degree from Purdue University in 1985\, the MSEE degree from Stanford Uni
 versity in 1986\, and the M.S. degree in Statistics from Stanford Universi
 ty in 1989. From 1985 to 1988 he was a National Science Foundation Graduat
 e Fellow at Stanford\, where he earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering i
 n 1990. He has worked at the University of Michigan since then. From 1991 
 to 1992 he was a Department of Energy Alexander Hollaender Post-Doctoral F
 ellow in the Division of Nuclear Medicine. From 1993 to 1995 he was an Ass
 istant Professor in Nuclear Medicine and the Bioengineering Program. He is
  now a Professor in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer
  Science\, Radiology\, and Biomedical Engineering. He became a Fellow of t
 he IEEE in 2006\, for contributions to the theory and practice of image re
 construction. He received the Francois Erbsmann award for his IPMI93 prese
 ntation\, and the Edward Hoffman Medical Imaging Scientist Award in 2013. 
 He has served as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Medical 
 Imaging\, the IEEE Signal Processing Letters\, the IEEE Transactions on Im
 age Processing\, the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging\, and is c
 urrently serving as an associate editor for SIAM J. on Imaging Science. He
  has chaired the IEEE T-MI Steering Committee and the ISBI Steering Commit
 tee. He was co-chair of the 1997 SPIE conference on Image Reconstruction a
 nd Restoration\, technical program co-chair of the 2002 IEEE International
  Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)\, and general chair of ISBI 2007. 
 His research interests are in statistical aspects of imaging problems\, an
 d he has supervised doctoral research in PET\, SPECT\, X-ray CT\, MRI\, an
 d optical imaging problems.\n
