Dr Roushanak Rahmat

 

I was a research associate at the Brain Tumour Imaging Group and a postdoc research associate of Queens’ College. My research focuses on advanced multimodal brain imaging to understand the heterogeneity of gliomas (high and low grade).

‎I hold a PhD in Electrical&Computer Engineering from Heriot-Watt University in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh; the focus of my PhD was Medical Image Analysis. Prior to obtaining my PhD, I finished my Master by research degree in Intelligent Imaging and Bachelor degree in Electrical& Electronics Engineering specialised in Instrumentation&Control at the University Technology PETRONAS (UTP) where I was awarded the scholarship from PETRONAS.

 

Research

My research interests include image&signal processing, computer vision, machine learning, cloud computing and mobile app development. I am an excellent self-motivated systematic approach researcher, very enthusiastic smart worker, fantastic communicator, with time management skills and a unique attributes as a team player.
