معرفی
Jens Gregor is a Professor and James W. McConnell Fellow at the Min H. Kao Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Tickle College of Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He also serves as Associate Department Head and Director of Graduate Studies. His research focuses on computed imaging, machine learning, neutron imaging, and medical imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET).
Gregor holds a PhD and MS in Electrical Engineering from Aalborg University, Denmark. His academic career includes teaching courses ranging from foundational computer organization to advanced topics like image reconstruction and machine learning. Notable research projects include neutron tomography for fissile material imaging, PET reconstruction algorithms, and collaborations with institutions like ORNL and UTMCK.
His work spans interdisciplinary areas, including medical robotics, network security (e.g., InSight2 platform), and computational imaging for biomedical applications. Over 50+ students have been advised under his mentorship, many supported by fellowships like the Ron Nutt Fellowship. His contributions to iterative reconstruction techniques and distributed computing frameworks have been published in top journals like IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and Physics in Medicine and Biology.
Current research emphasizes AI-driven medical imaging, motion correction in PET, and neutron imaging innovations. Gregor’s lab actively collaborates with industry and government labs, addressing challenges in non-destructive testing, environmental monitoring, and healthcare technology.
