Muwei Li, PhD, earned his PhD from the Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, with joint training at The Johns Hopkins University. He completed post-doctorate fellowships at Sichuan University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center before joining the Vanderbilt faculty in 2018 as Research Instructor in Radiology & Radiological Sciences. He research focuses on diffusion tensor image analysis, functional MRI analysis and pattern recognition of anatomical features.
