Dr Young T. HongUniversity positionSenior Research Associate Dr Young T. Hong is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students. DepartmentsDepartment of Clinical Neurosciences InstitutesResearch ThemesInterestsMy main research area is developing mathematical models and numerical techniques in analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) data. Most of the PET images are obtained for acute head injury, psychiatry and neurology clinical research. Research Focus
EquipmentComputational modelling Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Collaborators
