Brad Roth:  

Life See files.oakland.edu/users/roth/web/. I was born in Clinton, Iowa in 1960, and was raised in Morrison, Illinois. I attended Homestead High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana (1974-76), Ashland High School in Ashland, Ohio (1976-77) and Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park, Kansas (1977-78). From 1978-1982 I attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. While at KU I majored in Physics (BS, 1982). In 1982, I entered Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee (MS, 1985; PhD, 1987) on a NSF Graduate Fellowship. My graduate research was performed in the Living State Physics Laboratory, headed by Dr. John Wikswo. This work resulted in the first detailed comparison of the transmembrane potential and magnetic field produced by an isolated nerve axon, and the prediction of electrically silent magnetic fields generated by electrical activity at the apex of the heart. After obtaining my PhD, I remained at Vanderbilt for a year as an American Heart Association Research Fellow, during which time I developed Fourier methods for solving the magnetic inverse problem with two-dimensional current sources. In 1988, I joined the Biomedical Engineering and Instrumentation Program at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. My research at NIH centered on three themes: cardiac electrophysiology, magnetic stimulation of nerves, and analy...Expand for more
