As a professor of medical physics, I primarily focus on quantitative molecular imaging using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). PET is a nuclear medical imaging technology that utilizes radioactive tracers to diagnose cancer, dementia, heart disease, and infections in the body. My work involves developing data science techniques to extract more quantitative information from PET images for use in research and clinical practice.
My primary responsibility is conducting research in quantitative molecular imaging and supervising B.Sc, M.Sc, and PhD students. The projects range from enhancing PET image quality with AI-based motion correction, developing new kinetic models for physiological imaging, and new techniques for studying multi-organ interactions. Additionally, I contribute to other research projects and clinical work in Nuclear Medicine and PET.
