Shahrzad Moinian
Senior Research Associate
MS in Computer Science, University of Queensland, Australia
PhD in Computational Neuroimaging, University of Queensland, Australia
Shahrzad Moinian specializes in medical image acquisition and analysis with a particular interest in developing artificial intelligence-based methods for the reconstruction and analysis of magnetic resonance imaging across various clinical applications.
Her doctoral research led to the development of the MR fingerprinting residual analysis framework, a novel method for in vivo detection and characterization of microstructural variations in the human cerebral cortex.
Currently, Shahrzad's work focuses on advancing multi-dimensional MR fingerprinting acquisition and analysis for clinical translation into body imaging, aiming to enhance diagnostic capabilities and patient care.
Outside of work, she enjoys woodworking projects, playing piano and participating in social soccer.
