Mats Persson

I am an assistant professor with the title of docent at the department of Physics at KTH, working in the Physics of Medical Imaging division. I received my PhD in Physics from KTH in 2016 and then spent three years in the US as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University and at General Electric Research Center, Niskayuna, NY before returning to Sweden and KTH in 2020. My research is focused on photon-counting spectral computed tomography, with a particular focus on data processing and image reconstruction using deep neural networks. I am also taking part in the development of new detector hardware for medical imaging systems taking place in our division under the leadership of Professor Mats Danielsson, within the projects  "3D silicon detector for imaging of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine radiotracers with outstanding efficiency and high spatial resolution" and "New technology for 1 micron resolution biomedical imaging" . If you want to know more about my research, feel free to drop me an e-mail!

CV

I am looking for students with high grades and an interest of doing research in the physics of medical imaging. If you are driven by curiosity, like solving problems with mathematics and physics and want to work in a creative, stimulating environment with developing the computed tomography technology of the future, feel free to reach out to me to discuss project ideas! Here you can also find examples of possible thesis projects. If you are a PhD student or PhD and are interested in applying for a grants to join our research group as a postdoc, you are also very welcome to reach out to discuss suitable research projects!
