I am a seasoned researcher on MRI. I had been contributing to the research and clinical applications using low field Promaxo MRI system. Previously, I had been leading both imaging and data science projects at the National institutes of health. After completing PhD, I started post-doctoral fellowship at Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI), University of Toronto (Toronto, Canada). I led a multidisciplinary team in a preclinical project to develop non-contrast enhanced MRI methods for characterization of radiofrequency ablation lesions and explain MR contrast mchanism of these lesions. I was recruited by Children’s National Health System (CNHS) to work on non-invasive MR- guided-HIFU (MR-HIFU) technology. Introducing non-invasive surgery technologies and combining them with other therapy approaches are important to improve the treatment outcome pediatric patients.
