Kristen Gledhill
MR Data Analyst
B.S. Human Biology, University of San Diego, California (expected graduation date: June 2009)
I was born and raised in San Francisco and attended St. Ignatius College Prep. Currently, I am finishing up my degree in Human Biology and plan to attend medical or graduate school after taking a short break. Since 2006, I have been responsible for the organization and coordination of the Digital Fish Library (DFL) scanning and database, which included coordinating specimen scanning and data acquisition between Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO), Center for Functional MRI (fMRI), and various independent institutions worldwide.
My responsibilities have evolved over the past year to mainly analyzing specimen MR data for the DFL database, including whole body segmentation and rendering of scanned specimens using the latest software programs, ITKsnap and Amira. My goal is to continue building the DFL database with specimen MR data animations of rendered specimen data using Maya and Blender software.
