Multimodal imaging of retinal perfusion

In June 2024, I joined the Visual Processing Lab at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. There, Prof. Michael Hoffmann guided me through my 3-year PhD adventure as my supervisor, while Dr. Khaldoon Al-Nosairy provided me with day-to-day supervision. The ultimate goal is to develop an accurate multimodal model of retinal microvascular function, along with a predictive risk and prognosis indicator for Glaucoma based on retinal perfusion. My journey extends beyond Magdeburg as I will also gain experience from two secondments. For 1 year, I will be able to explore the benefits and challenges at the University Medical Center Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Nomdo Jansonius. Furthermore, I will collaborate with Heidelberg Engineering, contributing to my research on the development of retinal imaging devices.

Personal Background and Interest

I completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at Islamic Azad University. Subsequently, I pursued a Master’s degree in the same field at the same university. After completing these degrees, I served as a research and teaching assistant at Shahid Beheshti University for two years, focusing on pattern recognition and image processing. While my research interests span various topics in artificial intelligence, my primary focus lies within the realm of deep learning
