Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I am interested in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) physics, instrumentation, and its application in cancer diagnosis and patient management. My work focusses on PET front-end detectors, data acquisition, and system simulation. The goal is to improve spatial and energy resolution yielding a better image quality. Currently I am working on constructing, commissioning, and characterizing a high precision, 1 mm^3 resolution breast specific PET camera.
