### Research Assistant @ University of Michigan Health System
Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Ann Arbor
Worked on fuzzy-c means clustering of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) curves from the liver for estimation of hepatic perfusion parameters of a dual-input single compartment model of a liver.

### Research Intern @ Xoran Technologies LLC
Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Ann Arbor
-Acquired experimental data from CT flat-panel detector for calibration and image quality analysis through assessment of image quality metrics including spatial resolution, SNR, CNR and nominal tomographic slice thickness.
-Assisted with prototyping of algorithm for cone-beam reconstruction (Feldkamp-based) and artifact reduction for a cone-beam CT scanner.
-Worked on correcting for bad pixels of the detector panel in the reconstructed image, which was a cause for line artifacts.
-Developed MR-CT image registration algorithm using ITK libraries.

### Lab Assistant @ University of Michigan Health System
Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 | Ann Arbor
Project aimed to develop a method to correct saturation of arterial input function (AIF) in T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) of liver for quantification of liver perfusion involving estimation of hepatic perfusion parameters of a dual-input single compartment model of liver

### Research Thesis Student @ Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani
Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Pilani
Thesis titled ‘Automated Shimming of the Human spinal cord for B0 mapping at 3T’ aimed at automated adjustment of shim homogeneity for shim corrections and computing of field maps in the spinal cord using multiple echo MRI data

### Research Scholor @ Polytechnique Montréal
Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 | Montreal, Canada
Research  project aimed  at assessing the effects of respiration on the B0 field in human  spinal cord  at 3T by quantifying field maps  under  the  expired  and  inspired  conditions.  Field maps were computed using commands from FSL library and  implemented in MATLAB

### Research Intern @ Bhabha Atomic Research Centre
Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | Trombay, Mumbai
Project, titled ‘2-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis  Image  Analysis  Using  Wavelet Transform’ aimed at detecting protein spots in the gel image and to remove artefacts caused by staining the proteins for detection using wavelet transform. Processing of image was done in MATLAB.
