Dr Zaid Bin Mahbub completed his PhD in Physics from the University of Nottingham, UK, in 2014. His PhD works were conducted in the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre -SPMIC, the birthplace of MRI. His research was focused on Quantitative MRI, including diffusion, magnetization transfer, T2 of peripheral nerves in the brachial plexus and combined EMG-MRI study.
After PhD completion, he continued research in the field of MRI and joined as an EPSRC Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh, UK. During 2015-2018, his post-doctoral research works mainly dealt with accelerated MRI and MR fingerprinting (MRF).
Since 2004, Dr Zaid has been involved in bio-medical physics research. He began with biomedical physics research during a post-graduate program at the University of Dhaka, where he dealt with time and frequency domain studies of EMG signals from median nerves. He completed a B.Sc (4 years) and MS degrees in Physics from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Dr Zaid’s fields of interest include Biomedical physics and engineering, Biomedical image and signal analysis. He has extensive expertise in MRI and MRI physics, especially Quantitative MRI, MR pulse sequence design, modelling MR signals, and optimizing the pulse sequences. He is also an expert on EMG and nerve conduction studies.
Dr Zaid published his works in the renowned journals. He also presented his research works at many international conferences, such as ISMRM and ESMRMB and the British chapter of ISMRM meetings in different countries.
