Tianyi Zeng, PhD

Tianyi Zeng is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and a member of the Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute at Yale School of Medicine. He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021 and subsequently joined the Yale PET Center as a postdoctoral researcher.

With over a decade of experience in molecular imaging, Dr. Zeng specializes in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. His research focuses on developing advanced motion correction, image reconstruction, and quantitative imaging methods for the NeuroEXPLORER, an ultra-high-performance brain PET scanner. His current work also explores direct reconstruction for parametric imaging, kinetic modeling, and quantitative methods for improving the accuracy and efficiency of PET analysis. His broader research interests include PET reconstruction and correction algorithms, quantitative image analysis, and the integration of deep learning methods for motion estimation, image reconstruction, and image quality enhancement.
