For his PhD, he’s designing and building a modular multi-source electron beam scanner<\/a> for high speed computed tomography and 3D printing applications. The system would enable ultra-fast CT scans for improved image quality in cardiac imaging and could be a game changer for 3D printing. The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) has filed two patents for the project, one in 2014 and another in 2015 (patents pending).<\/p>\n

He has also co-founded 2 startup companies. Formula Database<\/a>, GelCombs<\/a> and has his own consulting company that does quality assurance for radiation and diagnostic imaging products.<\/p>\n
