Iman Beheshti , is currently a Scientist at the University of Manitoba (UoM), completed his PhD focused on the application of artificial intelligence, statistics, and signal/image processing to design fully automated computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease through MRI data in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2016. His present research, supported by Parkinson Canada, is “Stimulating the caudate nucleus to improve cognitive performance in Parkinson’s Disease”. Before joining UoM, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at Laval University (Quebec City, QC) from 2017 to 2020, under the tutorship of Dr. Simon Duchesne. His work focused on developing advanced artificial intelligence methods based on brain imaging data to address clinical problems in neurology and psychiatry. In addition, he also worked on machine learning applications in neuroimaging projects in clinical settings from 2016 to 2017 at the Integrative Brain Imaging Center, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, Tokyo, Japan.
