Who we are:



Materials and Small Animal Imaging
Dr. Ted Watson is Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering in the College of Engineering at CSU. He received his B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and PhD from the California Institute of Technology. Previously, Dr. Watson was Professor and Director of the Engineering Imaging Laboratory at Texas A&M University. Dr. Watson's research interests include the development of NMR imaging methods for quantitative determination of properties and structures of heterogeneous media. A key element in this research is system and parameter identification (SPI). One application of current interest is flow through permeable media.

Medical Imaging
Dr. Susan Kraft is Associate Professor of Radiology in Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences Department of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. She received her B.S. in biology from University of Alaska, a D.V.M. and PhD from Washington State University, and is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiology and also of ACVR-Radiation Oncology. Dr. Kraft's research interests include magnetic resonance imaging of cancer, radiation therapy, and neuroradiology. In particular, she is interested in development of MR and MR spectroscopic techniques for imaging of tumor hypoxia, tissue perfusion and ischemia. http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/erhs/faculty/kraft/kraft.htm


Solid State/Spectroscopy/Hyperpolarized Gases

Dr. Thomas Meersmann is Assistant Professor of Chemistry in Department of Chemistry of the College of Natural Sciences. He received his diploma in Chemistry from the Universität Tübingen, Germany and a Ph.D. from the Université de Lausanne, Switzerland. He has also served as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Tallahassee, Florida and at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Meersman's research interests are NMR spectroscopy, laser enhanced NMR, and use of hyperpolarized gases in investigating surfaces, porous and heterogeneous materials.
