Research Information

Research Interests

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting
  • Computational Inverse Problems
  • Mathematical Modeling

Dr. McGivney's research interests are in mathematical modeling of biomedical applications, particularly in medical imaging. She also has experience in solutions to inverse problems using the Bayesian statistical framework. Her most recent research is in magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF), including studying the partial volume effect and tissue property quantification using pattern matching.
