Research Interests:

Development of instrumentation for Nuclear Medical Imaging, primarily for positron emission tomography (PET). This includes development of: (1) new dense inorganic scintillators for gamma ray detection, (2) novel silicon photodetector array designs for measuring scintillation light, (3) custom integrated circuits containing arrays of low noise charge sensitive amplifiers, (4) new detector designs and scanner geometries incorporating the above elements, and (5) tomographic reconstruction algorithms incorporating the additional information available from these and other novel detector designs.
