Senior🎓
Top SchoolKrishna Nayak is a professor and MRI technology researcher with over two decades of academic and industry experience, currently holding joint appointments in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Radiology at USC. His work focuses on developing faster, more quantitative MRI pulse sequences, sampling/reconstruction methods, and artifact correction techniques to expand clinical applications into areas like cardiac care, obesity, and sleep apnea. He has a track record of translational collaborations with clinicians across cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, otolaryngology, and linguistics, turning methodological advances into validated studies, publications, and grants. Beyond academia he consults for medical device and pharmaceutical clients and founded Lively Sensors, reflecting a practical bent toward commercialization and standards for clinical protocols. Trained at Stanford (PhD, MS) with a multidisciplinary undergraduate background, he combines deep signal-processing expertise with hands-on MRI system development and clinical translation. An oft-overlooked strength is his ability to bridge pulse-sequence innovation with training materials and expert testimony, helping ensure novel methods are adopted safely in practice.
