I am an experimental nuclear and particle physicist with a background in radiation detection and quantitative imaging in nuclear medicine.
I currently lead a research program in nuclear imaging to develop novel technologies and techniques for SPECT with a focus on imaging of low activities for radionuclide therapy. I also explore new detector concepts to improve TOF-PET performance.
