Profile
Dr Deepika SHUKLA
Research Fellow
Dr Deepika Shukla earned her PhD in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIITDM Jabalpur, India in 2017, with her thesis “Development of affine video stabilization techniques using integral projects under challenging scenic conditions”. After her PhD, she served as Research Scientist at the National Brain Research Centre, Manesar, India (2016-2020), where she worked on identifying novel brain metabolic and imaging biomarkers using MRI/MRS for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Most recently, she served as a Magnetic Resonance Physicist at Imperial College London (2021-2022) and one of its research sites at Perinatal Trial Unit foundation in Bangalore, India (2020-2021). She worked on diffusion tensor imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to identify diagnostic marker for HIE neonates undergoing cooling therapy after birth.
Dr Deepika Shukla joined CLIC in April 2023 as a Research Fellow in CLIC’s Neuroimaging workgroup with Prof Annabel Chen Shen-Hsing as her PI. She is currently tasked with quality checks and developing processing and analysis pipelines for magnetic resonance spectroscopy data.
