After completing her MS, she moved to Indiana where she temporarily worked as a Research Technician supporting high field MR research. In 2009, she started her Ph.D. in Medical Physics at Purdue University and graduated in 2015 with an extensive research experience on 9-T MR and clinical MR Spectroscopy of the neurotransmitter GABA. In July 2015, she started training at Emory as a resident in the Medical Imaging Physics residency program. Shalmali completed her residency in June 2017 and is very excited to be working as a CT Medical Physicist with her favorite people at Emory! Shalmali is in the process of ABR certification.
