Stefanie Tremblay
Stefanie is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Concordia’s Physics department, in the lab of Dr. Claudine Gauthier (Quantitative Physiology Imaging Lab). Her research interests are in leveraging multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrasts to characterize brain health, especially the fiber tracts connecting brain regions. Stefanie’s research, which is funded by CIHR, primarily focuses on developing novel multivariate approaches to analyze MRI images in order to obtain a more comprehensive view of the impact of various diseases on the brain’s white matter and its link to cognition. She is also interested in a wide subjects relating to psychology, mental health and psychiatry.
