Andrea's research focus is on the optimization and implementation of Tic-Tac-Toe RF coils for 7T neuroimaging and spectroscopy.
Andrea successfully defended her PhD thesis in November of 2025 and graduated in Spring 2026.
The 7TBRP is grateful for Dr. Sajewski's contributions and service to our program during her tenure in the lab.
