I am a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at McGill University. I obtained my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran. I completed my M.Sc. at Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. I started my PhD studies in September 2013 under the supervision of Dr. Louis Collins. I am currently a part of the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL). The main focus of my PhD research is imaging biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). I am particularly interested in structural and functional MRI derived AD biomarkers.
