Viola Rieke, PhD, received her MS in
Electrical Engineering from the University
of Rhode Island, Providence,

(2005–2010), and senior research
associate (2011). While at Stanford,
she received the Electrical Engineering
Diversity Doctoral Fellowship in
2000. In particular, Rieke’s research
focuses on magnetic resonance guided
focused ultrasound and MRI-guided
cardiac FUS. “This is a new and very
promising methodology for noninvasive
treatment of various diseases,
but there are still many technological
challenges that have to be overcome
for a widespread adoption of FUS into
clinical routine,” she says. In November
2011, Rieke accepted a position
