Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Deidda is a Senior Scientist at the National Physical Laboratory with over eight years of hands-on experience building scientific software and AI-driven image reconstruction tools for PET-MR, PET-CT and SPECT-CT. He brings a physics-first perspective—holding a PhD in Biomedical Imaging and top honors in physics—while shipping performant C++, Python and PyTorch code optimized for Linux with parallel programming, profiling and uncertainty estimation in advanced and deep-learning reconstructions. At NPL he leads scanner-model software development and consultancies, supervises early-career researchers, and translates complex imaging methods into reproducible tools and publications. Comfortable at the interface of research and engineering, he’s equally fluent in statistical methods and practical system-level debugging, a combination that accelerates deployment of robust medical-imaging solutions.
