Welcome to Dr. Qun Zhao's Research Group

Our lab is housed within the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the BioImaging Research Center (BIRC) at the University of Georgia. Our research facilities are located in the Paul C. Coverdale Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences.

As our name suggests, our research primarily focuses on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). We also collaborate with different departments ranging from Kinesiology to Psychology. For more information on our projects, please visit our research and publications pages.
