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.

Ileana Pirozzi
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2018
BioIleana Pirozzi, from Colleferro (Roma), Italy, is pursuing a PhD in Bioengineering at Stanford School of Engineering as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. At Brown University, she earned a bachelor’s degree in bioengineering and biomedical engineering. Ileana was a research intern at the NASA Ames Research Center and at the Tripathi Biomedical Engineering Lab at Brown. She was elected President of the Rhode Island Alpha Chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the National Engineering Honors Society. Additionally, she was named a Vincent and Ruby DiMase Research Fellow at Brown’s School of Engineering and was a recipient of the Domenico Ionata Award for excellence in research and creativity in engineering, the Outstanding Senior in Biomedical Engineering Award, the Distinguished Thesis Prize and the K.T. Romer Undergraduate Teaching and Research Award. With her Brown-RISD team, EmboNet, she was awarded first prize at the international Johns Hopkins Healthcare Design Competition in the Advanced Healthcare division for their design of an embolic protection device.
