Imran Shah

Imran Shah was first drawn to the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences by its reputation.

“The medical physics program at UK is among the best in the country and I was honored to do my master’s work here,” Shah said. 

A native of Chittagong, Bangladesh, Shah received his undergraduate degree in mathematics and physics from King College in Bristol, Tennessee.  In May he will graduate from UK with a Master’s Degree in Radiological Medical Physics and plans to enter the working world, where he may eventually pursue a Ph.D. in the field.

Shah’s interest in Medical Physics began in undergraduate physics courses, and he said that attending UK has prepared him for his future because of the hands-on experience the program allows.

“It is very fulfilling to work with patients, and with doctors to find treatments for cancer,” he said.  “Graduates from this program are well respected because we come out with actual experience.   Plus, we are able to work with faculty and practicing medical physicists who are willing to go out of their way to ensure we succeed in the profession.”

Shah moved to the U.S. in 2000.  He and his wife Angela have a nine-month old daughter named Anouk Iman.
