RESEARCH INTEREST

I am currently a Ph.D. specializing in magnetic resonance imaging. My current research topic is numerically efficient MRI simulations, particularly the quantum mechanical effects and diffusion/flow processes. I have developed the MRI module including singlet state imaging in the numerical simulation package (Spinach library) and implemented several pulse sequences (phase encoding, echo planar imaging, spiral imaging, CPMG, UDD, M2S, S2M, SM2S, etc.). Furthermore, we (me and other authors) propose a solution to the matrix dimension in quantum mechanical simulations of MRI experiments on complex molecules and published our paper in Science Advances journal with an impact factor of 11.5 In the field of Imaging, I would certainly be able to create and explore any pulse sequences and methodology related the diffusion and flow. I am a skilled programmer and numerical simulation specialist with a deep understanding of magnetic resonance imaging.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

University of Baghdad/Iraq

2010 – 2012

As a part of my MSc degree, I was working with Ass. prof. Dr. Firas Ahmed to computationally detect every part of M3Y realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction as a residual interaction to check these parts are having the major interaction in the core polarization effect.

University of Southampton/UK

2010 – 2012

As a part of my PhD degree, I worked with Prof. Ilya Kuporv at the University of Southampton on:

• Implemented a first MRI simulation code using quantum mechanical approach.

• Reducing matrix simulation problem to be more reliable in compering with experimental work.

• Both tasks (mentioned above) are published as a journal papers.
