Overview
Dr. Huang is an associate professor and Director of PET/MRI Research in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences. As the director of the Medical Image Research and Analysis (MIRA) Lab, Dr. Huang is advancing the use of dual PET/MR imaging techniques for both clinical and research applications, developing quantitative MRI techniques, and exploring machine learning with convolutional neural network-based segmentation.
Dr. Huang has received numerous awards for his scientific innovation, including Young Investigator awards from the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation. He has been recognized with Distinguished and Outstanding Reviewer accolades by the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. He was honored with the Society of Biological Psychiatry's Chair Choice Award and the Stanley Fahn, Jr. Faculty Award of the Parkinson's Foundation.
Prior to joining Emory, Dr. Huang was an associate professor with tenure of radiology and psychiatry in the Renaissance School of Medicine of Stony Brook University. At Stony Brook he also served as Director of PET/MR Clinical Research with joint appointments in the departments of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science, as well as affiliations with the Stony Brook Cancer Center, AI Institute, Institute of Engineering-Driven Medicine, and Neuroscience Institute.
Active in many professional associations, Dr. Huang has served as Chair of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) PET/MRI Study Group from 2021 to 2022.
