Biography

Adam Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. His research focuses on advanced x-ray CT imaging, including the development of artificial intelligence for CT acquisition, reconstruction, and image processing. Wang leads the Photon Counting CT Lab, Zeego Lab, and Tabletop X-Ray Lab. He completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, where he developed strategies to maximize the information content of dual energy CT photon counting detectors. Following his PhD, he pursued postdoctoral studies at Johns Hopkins University, working on x-ray based image-guided surgery. Before returning to Stanford in 2018, he was a Senior Scientist at Varian Medical Systems, contributing to the development of x-ray and CT methods for image-guided radiation therapy. He has received various awards for his research, including the Early Career Investigators Award from the Academy of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Research.
