Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests span signal and image processing, pattern recognition, and the emerging field of medical image understanding. Currently, my research focuses on technology development for MRI applications in diagnosis. More specifically, image matching, object recognition, higher-order image representations, Cross Domain generalisation, MR image segmentation, and analysis are my focused areas of interest.
Personal profile
Dr Sheheryar Khan received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering with Honours from UET Peshawar, Pakistan, MSc degree in Digital Signal Processing with Distinction from Lancaster University, the UK and Doctorate degree in Electronic Engineering from the City University of Hong Kong. His research interests include Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, and Medical Image Processing.
Prior to joining this institution, Dr. Khan served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Imaging and Interventional Radiology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he focused on Machine Learning tasks related to Magnetic Resonance images. He also worked as a senior research associate and postdoctoral fellow at the City University of Hong Kong, where he worked on several computer vision tasks and developed algorithms for automatic object detection, matching, and recognition in digital images.
Dr. Khan's teaching experience in this field spanned over five years as a full-time lecturer at COMSATS University Islamabad, Pakistan. He is an IEEE Senior member and a registered engineer at the Pakistan Engineering Council.
