Amirreza Hashemi
I obtained my Ph.D. in Computational Modeling and Simulation department from the University of Pittsburgh. I worked on a multidisciplinary project to study quantum phonon transport in disordered media. I worked particularly on quantum phonon transport in graphene grain boundaries and thermal transport in amorphous silicon. Also, I hold two MScs in Applied Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. My research has been involved in leveraging computational modeling and machine learning to solve physical science problems subjected to noise, chaos, and disorder. As a graduate student, I was a recipient of the PQI best poster award, ICTP scholarship, IMPA travel grant, IPAM and Julian Schwinger foundation travel grant, and Shabahang scholarship.
I joined the Sabet Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at GCMI in the department of radiology of the MGH/HMS. My primary responsibilities include light transport simulation, and detector- and system level modeling of cardiac SPECT camera, development of SPECT image reconstruction, co-registration of reconstructed images with CT images, system integration and characterization of the prototype cardiac SPECT imager.
