Jaewon Yang
Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center
Dallas, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJaewon Yang is an assistant professor and imaging scientist with 13 years of experience developing robust deep learning models and quantitative techniques for PET, SPECT, and multimodality imaging. He combines a Stanford-trained electrical engineering and radiation oncology background with hands-on expertise in attenuation and motion correction, quantitative analysis, and clinical data acquisition/management. At UCSF and now UT Southwestern he translated research into practical imaging workflows and evaluation, routinely working across PET/MR, PET/CT and dedicated cardiac SPECT. Beyond academic labs, he has contributed backend code to the well-known SNAP graph analysis library, implementing AGM network generation functions and examples—illustrating his comfort crossing from medical imaging to general-purpose open-source software. Colleagues know him for pragmatic, reproducible solutions that bridge algorithm development and clinical deployment. Based in Dallas, he continues to blend technical rigor with translational impact in radionuclide imaging.
