Dr. Bolan is an Assistant Professor in Radiology. After receiving his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from
the University of Illinois (UIUC) and post-graduate studies at UC Berkeley, Dr. Bolan spent five years working in
industry as a software engineer. He joined Dr. Michael Garwood's group at the University of Minnesota in 1999 and
received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 2003 while developing methods for performing quantitative MR
spectroscopy of breast cancer. He stayed on at the UMN Center for Magnetic Resonance Research as a postdoctoral
associate and later as an Assistant Professor. His research focuses on developing methods for MR imaging and
spectroscopy of cancer in animal models and human subjects, and translating research methodologies into clinical
practice.
Research Interests:
- MR imaging and spectroscopy of human breast cancer
- MR imaging and visualization of microvasculature in animal models
- Computational methods for MR spectroscopy analysis
- Methods for abdominal high-field MR spectroscopy
