Summary
Andrea Grant is an ultra high-field MRI manager and research scientist with 13 years of experience designing, testing, and operationalizing cutting-edge neuroimaging at 3T, 7T, and 10.5T. She combines deep hands-on RF coil characterization, EM simulation validation with MR thermometry, and B1+ shimming expertise with strong Python-driven data analysis, visualization, and database tooling (Django/PostgreSQL) for safety and experiment tracking. Andrea has led human-subject safety monitoring under FDA IDE protocols and built custom hardware and stimuli for vision research, blending engineering (SolidWorks, 3D printing) with psychophysics. Her background spans materials science, physics, and atmospheric science, and she brings a rare mix of field instrumentation experience and rigorous computational reproducibility to neuroimaging studies.
