Muhammad Nasir Ullah

Muhammad Nasir Ullah is a researcher at the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory at Korea University, with a Ph.D. in Bio-Convergence Engineering (2020) and a B.S. in Electronic Engineering (2012). His work focuses on radiation detection for medical applications, particularly in detector design for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), intraoperative gamma probes, and hybrid ultrasound-gamma probe systems.

• BS: Electronic Engineering, International Islamic University, Islamabad, Pakistan (2012)
• Integrated MS+Ph.D.: Bio-Convergence Engineering, Korea University, Seoul, South Korea (2020)

His research spans nuclear medicine instrumentation, frontend circuit design for radiation and ultrasound detectors, and hybrid imaging technologies. He has published extensively on sub-millimeter PET detectors, time-of-flight PET, and wavelength discrimination techniques. Notable trends include the integration of deep learning for PET calibration and the development of RF-penetrable PET inserts for MRI compatibility.

Scientific awards include:

• IEEE NSS/MIC Trainee Grant (2020, 2016)
• Best Paper Award, Korea University (2020)
• Korea University Ph.D. Scholarship (2015-2020)
• 3rd Prize, Final Year Project, IIUI (2012)

He holds 4 patents in South Korea and has contributed to projects like the 1-mm Resolution Dual Panel Clinical PET and CZT-based rhizosphere PET scanners. His work bridges radiation detection physics and medical device engineering, with a focus on clinical and plant imaging applications.
