Yaoyu Zhang

Yaoyu Zhang received her B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 2013, and her Ph.D. degree in Integrated Life Science (Physics) from Peking University in 2020. Right after graduation, she joined the Biomedical Engineering Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a research assistant professor. Her research focuses on the application of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging techniques for understanding the flow and metabolic changes associated with prevalent diseases such as Alzheimer’s dementia and stroke.
