Bio

Dr. Pramod Pisharady is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR, Department of Radiology) at the University of Minnesota Medical School. After earning his PhD in Computer Vision and Machine Learning from NUS (2012), he did postdoctoral research in the Biological Engineering department at MIT (2013-2014). Before his appointment as Assistant Professor (2022) at CMRR, he worked as a Postdoctoral Associate (2014-2017) and a Research Associate (2017-2022) at CMRR. Dr. Pisharady is a recipient of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) Imaging Scientist grant award (2020). His current research interest is to develop methods to bridge the information gap between macroscale and microscale imaging using multimodal imaging with diffusion MRI and microscopy, and to apply these methods to detect disease-related structural changes in neurological disorders.
