An experimental physicist who develops particle detectors and applies nuclear-physics instrumentation to biomedical imaging.[ref] In his presentation on detector technology, a scintillator converts deposited gamma ray energy into optical light, and a photomultiplier turns that light into an electrical signal. Combining position-sensitive detection with compact detector modules enables specialized gamma cameras rather than requiring every imaging task to use the same instrument.[ref]
