1998 Winner: Outstanding Undergraduate Award Karla Miller is in her senior year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Computer Science. She was nominated for her research in medical imaging. Karla worked in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Research Group at the UCSD Medical Center on a biophysical model for the changes in blood flow, blood volume, and blood oxygenation in the brain during activation. The model takes physiological parameters and predicts temporal patterns of the measured MR signal; Karla's research focused on the inverse calculation. She is currently working on automation of electron crystallography, using adaptive pattern techniques to predict high-resolution image quality based on crystal features. Karla received her department's Spyglass Award for Academic Achievement and the Franz Hohn and J. P. Nash Scholarship, an award established to recognize students with exceptional talent in scientific computing. She plans to attend graduate school at Stanford University.
