About


Sasha is a medical physicist, clinical scientist and a senior translational research fellow in magnetic resonance imaging.

PhD (2003) and MSc (1996, distinction, FW Spiers Award) from University of Leeds, School of Medicine (Medical Physics).

State registered Clinical Scientist (Health Professions Council, UK).

The subject of Sasha’s research is Quantitative MRI: a set of methods for acquisition and analysis of Magnetic Resonance images, which enable non-invasive and objective tissue characterisation.

Sasha’s  five-year tenure-track fellowship was awarded by the Biomedical Health Research Centre at the University of Leeds, and she started work on developing a programme of research in Quantitative MRI within the NIHR Leeds Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Unit in May 2009.
