Meysam Dadgar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioMeysam Dadgar is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford University, School of Medicine. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biophysics from Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, as part of the J-PET collaboration, and previously held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Ghent University, Belgium.
Dr. Dadgar’s research focuses on the development and optimization of next-generation positron emission tomography (PET) systems for cancer detection and precision medicine. His expertise spans PET instrumentation, Monte Carlo and GATE simulations, advanced image reconstruction, and AI-based image enhancement. He has made significant contributions to the design and evaluation of novel PET geometries, including dual-panel and total-body PET, as well as positronium imaging approaches that extend beyond conventional PET capabilities.
In addition to his PET-focused research, Dr. Dadgar gained unique experience at CERN, where he worked on advanced detector development, including trigger electronics, PET coincidence measurements, and composite material production under controlled conditions. These experiences provided him with a strong foundation in detector design, fabrication, and calibration that complements his biomedical imaging research.
