Dr. Field attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1980-1985, receiving his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering. He completed the MD/PhD Program in Bioengineering at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago in 1993. For his doctoral research, Dr. Field studied spatiotemporal analysis of brain evoked potentials under Prof. Daniel Graupe; he also studied microwave effects on action potentials in snail neurons under Profs. James Lin and William O'Neill. Dr. Field's postgraduate training included a medical internship at Northwestern University/Evanston Hospital (1993-94), residency in diagnostic radiology at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, IL (1994-98), and fellowship in neuroradiology at Wake Forest University (Bowman Gray) in Winston-Salem, NC (1999-2001).
Dr. Field is currently Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Radiology with an affiliate appointment in Biomedical Engineering. He is Director of the Clinical Neuroradiology Fellowship Program and Co-Director of the Clinical Neurosciences Clerkship for UW medical students. His research interest is quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of CNS white matter disease and repair, particularly using diffusion tensor, magnetization transfer, and T1/T2-relaxometric imaging techniques. A primary goal of his research is non-invasive tracking of myelin repair following glial stem cell transplantation.
