Scientific Focus
Research Interests
My research interests involve the early detection and characterization of cancer through the use of optics, MRI, and x-ray. My work encompasses both instrumentation and reconstruction for combining these imaging modalities. The goal of this multimodal approach is to improve standard imaging techniques by creating medical images with both anatomical and functional/molecular information.
