Dr. Shahrokh Abbasi Rad is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and Harvard Medical School, where he develops prospective motion-correction techniques for magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T and 7 T. His research interests broadly span neuroimaging, with a particular focus on advancing methods to probe brain function in vivo with high spatial and temporal specificity. At Martinos, his work also includes the development of motion-robust line-scanning MRI and vascular imaging techniques, aimed at high-resolution characterization of cerebral arteries, dynamic arterial diameter changes, and cerebrovascular physiology in both large and small vessels.
Prior to joining Martinos, he was a joint postdoctoral fellow at the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (Netherlands) and the Erwin Hahn Institute for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Germany), where he worked on magnetization transfer imaging and functional spectroscopy methods for investigating neuronal and metabolic processes with enhanced specificity. He received his PhD from The University of Queensland (Australia), where he focused on the development of novel pulse sequences to overcome technical challenges associated with ultra-high-field MRI.
