Biography

Pouyan Mohajerani received his B.S. in electrical engineering from Sharif University, Tehran, in 2002. He earned his Master’s degree in telecommunications from Georgia Institute of Techology in May 2004. From August 2004 to May 2005 he served as a DSP algorithm developer in an intern position in Atlanta GA. He has been with Photonics Research Group since May 2005 as a Ph.D. student. Pouyan served an internship position as imaging scientist at VisEn Medical Inc., Bedford MA, during the summer of 2007 where we worked on algorithms for robust fluorescent imaging for the FMT 2500™ small animal imager (work resulted in pending US patents).

His research is mainly focused on signal processing for biomedical imaging with an emphasis on optical modalities; particularly, fluorescent molecular tomography (FMT) and diffuse optical tomography (DOT). The research is of experimental and theoretical nature and has immediate applications in tumor detection and characterization; thus conducive to early cancer detection and characterization and facilitating pharmaceutical studies.
