Welch, Andy - University of Aberdeen - School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition

个人简介

Professor Welch graduated from the University of Southampton with a first class honours degree in Physics in 1987 and went on to obtain a PhD in Medical Physics at the University of London (Royal Marsden Hospital) in 1990. After a brief spell in industry (working as a systems analyst for an oil company) he returned to academia, taking up a postdoctoral position and then a faculty position at the University of Utah. In 1997 he returned to the UK, as a lecturer, senior lecturer then Professor at the University of Aberdeen.

研究领域

My research has focussed on the tomographic radiotracer imaging techniques of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) as well as Computed Tomography (CT) in general. I am particularly interested in the development of novel hardware and software to address specific applications. These include clinical applications, preclinical applications and applications in engineering and geosciences.
