Mats Persson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
BioMats Persson is a postdoctoral scholar in the department of Bioengineering, Stanford University. During his Ph.D. studies at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, he worked on developing a photon-counting silicon strip detector for clinical computed tomography (CT) scanners. He also co-founded a start-up company, Prismatic Sensors, as a spin-off from this research. His present research interests include reconstruction and data processing schemes for photon-counting spectral CT, and simulation and modeling of photon-counting detectors.
