Joey Plummer, MS

Student

I am a PhD candidate in biomedical engineering, working under Dr. Laura Walkup in the CPIR. Prior to this, I received a master's in physics from the University of Nottingham (United Kingdom). I specializes in hyperpolarized xenon MRI, with current projects ranging from spiral sequence implementation, gas-exchange MRI, compressed sensing reconstruction and various statistical methods of healthy/disease populations. Outside of research, I love climbing mountains and drinking good coffee.

Matt Willmering, PhD

Research Associate

I am a research associate in the Division of Pulmonary Medicine and CPIR. I also received my PhD in chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis in May 2017. My current research focuses on implementation of MRI acquisitions for cardio-pulmonary structure and function as well as image reconstruction and analysis. Additionally, I am tasked with keeping the MR capabilities of the center up to date through system upgrades for all MR scanners. Besides research, I enjoy video/board games, music/concerts and programming.
