Bio

Angelie Rivera Rodriguez received her B.S. in Industrial Biotechnology at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez. She then moved to the U.S.A., where she earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida under the supervision of Dr. Carlos Rinaldi-Ramos. Her thesis was focused on biomedical applications of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles for cancer thermal treatment and cell tracking using Magnetic Particle Imaging. In Summer 2022, Angelie joined Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar under the supervision of Dr. Katherine Ferrara and Dr. Michelle James working at the intersection of nanomedicine and medical imaging.
