There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“Light: A Powerful Tool for Brain Monitoring”
Erin Buckley, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Department of Pediatrics
Emory University/Georgia Tech
This talk will provide an overview of diffuse optical spectroscopies used to non-invasively measure cerebral blood flow, oxygen metabolism, oxygen saturation, and blood volume. Further it will highlight how quantification of these parameters can provide insight into hypoxic-ischemic injury and efficacy of therapeutic strategies when applied in infants and children at high risk of brain injury.
Erin Buckley is an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University/Georgia Tech and the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University. She received her Ph.D. in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania in 2011; followed by postdoctoral fellowships at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and at Massachusetts General Hospital.
