Arthur Pétusseau

Arthur Pétusseau is an Assistant Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth College's Thayer School of Engineering. He earned dual master's degrees in Engineering Sciences from the University of Strasbourg (2018) and a PhD in Engineering Sciences from Dartmouth (2023). His research focuses on developing innovative optical imaging technologies for cancer diagnostics and treatment, emphasizing real-time surgical guidance and novel methodologies over commercial solutions. He specializes in image-guided surgery, fluorescence imaging, and radiotherapy applications.

Key research interests include oximetry, ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy (FLASH therapy), and molecular imaging. His work bridges lab-born technologies with clinical applications, leveraging expertise in hardware development and animal surgery. Pétusseau has pioneered the PRESTO (Pressure-Enhanced Sensing of Tissue Oxygenation) imaging technology to distinguish cancerous from healthy tissue during surgery.
