Author of over 80 peer-reviewed publications, holds 6 patents, and has grant funding from the National Institutes of Health and the medical imaging industry to advance non-invasive cardiac and cancer imaging.
Research Experience
Prior to joining MSU, he was a professor of Radiology at the University of Washington. He currently leads the MIDI Lab in translational medical research projects.
Education
Received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame and post-doctoral training in imaging physics at the University of Washington.
Background
Professor in CMSE, BME, and Radiology at Michigan State University. His research focuses on non-invasive quantification of disease through imaging algorithms and integrated data analysis. Dr. Alessio's research group solves clinically motivated research problems in medical decision-making. Current efforts center on translational medical research projects for topics including machine learning for quantitative diagnostics, cardiac perfusion estimation, quantitative PET and CT imaging, radiation dose optimization, and system modeling.
Miscellany
Teaches and previously served as the administrative director for undergraduate studies in CMSE, offering minors and a major in Data Science. These comprehensive programs prepare students to apply data science and computation to solve real-world problems.
