Hilary Fabich

Biography

Hilary joined ABQMR in November 2016 as a postdoctoral fellow after receiving her PhD from University of Cambridge. She performed her first MR experiment almost ten years earlier as an undergraduate at Montana State University with Profs. Joe Seymour and Sarah Codd studying the gelation of algal and bacterial alginate solutions. She also studied the effect of an intermediate filament on the mechanical properties of a mammalian cell in the Weitz lab at Harvard one summer. With her BS in Chemical Engineering, she went to Chalmers University, Sweden, where she used MR to study silica gels. She then went to Cambridge as a Gates Fellow to work with Drs. Daniel Holland and Andy Sederman where she significantly enhanced the speed of the ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequence, allowing for 1D and 2D imaging of millisecond scale processes and applied it to image bubble dynamics in a model fluidized bed. At ABQMR she is excited to further her knowledge of MR techniques and to develop a system to study fluid dynamics at elevated pressures.
