Post-doctoral Scholars
Jyothi Rikhab Chand
Dr. Jyothi Rikhab Chand is a postdoctoral research scholar at CBIG. Her current research focus is on using traditional optimization techniques and modern deep learning modules to reconstruct under-sampled MR images. Prior to joining CBIG, she earned her PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi under the supervision of Prof. Prabhu Babu. Her PhD thesis was on using the Majorization Minimization framework for various problems in signal processing, communication, and machine learning. In her spare time she loves to draw, cook, and travel.

Prior to joining CBIG, he earned his PhD from the University of Iowa under the supervision of Prof. Sajan Lingala.
Graduate Research Assistants
Kawsar Ahmed is a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) in the Computational Biomedical Imaging Group. His research interests are in medical imaging and deep learning. His current research focuses on developing deep learning-based algorithms for dynamic MRI reconstruction in cardiac imaging. Kawsar earned both his master's and bachelor's degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Bangladesh.
Sabbir has joined the University of Iowa as a graduate student in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Spring ’24. He is currently working as a graduate research assistant in the Advanced Pulmonary Physiomic Imaging (Fain) lab at UIowa. He is conducting research to develop Improved Kspace Trajectory Design, Off-resonance Corrections, and Motion Compensated Free Breathing Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE) Pulmonary MR Image Reconstruction under the supervision of Prof. Sean Fain (UIowa) and Prof. Mathews Jacob (UVA). The goal is to achieve better contrast to noise ratio and to improve spatial resolution in the lung parenchyma.
