Dr. Khan is an Assistant Professor of Medical Biophysics at Western University, Scientist in the Imaging Research Laboratories and Centre for Functional & Metabolic Mapping (CFMM) at Robarts Research Institute, and Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Computational Neuroimaging.  He completed his PhD at Simon Fraser University in 2011, and joined Robarts to continue working on advanced medical image analysis technologies for improving the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.  His research in imaging for epilepsy has been funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, and he is the Imaging for Surgery Theme Lead for The Epilepsy Research Program of the Ontario Brain Institute, EpLink.

He leads the Khan Computational Imaging Lab, focused on the development of novel image processing and analytics using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).  His work in epilepsy is aimed at detecting unseen lesions in the brains of patients with epilepsy, using advances in ultra-high field imaging, diffusion MRI and computational modelling to map out the brain with unprecedented detail. These techniques could lead to more accurate and less invasive surgical therapies, predict what therapies will be most successful, and potentially make surgery a viable option for more patients.
