Topic:  Quantitative MRI in Multiple Sclerosis

Short Bio:   I received my BSc in Physics from Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh. I then worked as a Lecturer in the same university for two years before moving to Canada in 2008. Then, I received an MSc in biophysics from Memorial University of Newfoundland before pursuing my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alberta. In my PhD I worked on developing quantitative MRI transverse relaxometry methods and applications towards Multiple Sclerosis. In January 2016, I moved to Winnipeg as a Staff Scientist & Brain Canada Platform Grant Coordinator at the University of Manitoba. Now I am investigating the neural basis of cognitive decline in MS using MRI.
