Steve Tilley worked as a PhD student Biomedical Engineering at Hopkins working on the development of novel 3D imaging systems.His research included development of photon counting detectors for high-quality spectral CT and the development of novel 3D image reconstruction methods, including the Known-Component Reconstruction (KCR) method for model-based reconstruction. His previous experience in Biological Engineering at Cornel Unviersity includes work in 2-photon fluorescence microscopy and hyperspectral imaging using a 16-channel fluoroescence detector system.
