Dr. Salan is a research assistant professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Miami. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Memphis, focusing on MRI imaging and image processing, and then joined the University of Miami as a postdoc under the mentorship of Dr. Varan Govind in Radiology.

His research interests focus on the development of novel brain MRI processing and analysis techniques, for evaluating the neurophysiological processes that underlie various pathologies, infections, and other conditions on the brain, such as aging, HIV infection, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. Dr. Salan is also involved in studies that use advanced MRI techniques to investigate the impact of various interventions and treatment options on brain metabolism and morphology. He is currently leading a research project funded by the McKnight Brain Research Foundation, that evaluates the impact of two behavioral and biological interventions for reducing alcohol consumption and improving cognition and brain functioning in an aging population with high-risk alcohol use.
