MSc (Dhaka) PhD (Syd)

Dr Serajul Khan teaches physical science and neuroscience to undergraduate students in the discipline. He has strong research interest in neuroscience especially in the field of neurophysiology. His current research focus on the origin of the electrically induced tendon reflex inhibition in human and the possible role of Ib afferents input in the control of muscle force by regulation of Ia excitatory input.
