He pioneered the cone-beam spiral CT method in the early 1990s. There are ~200 million CT scans yearly, with a majority in this scan mode. He published the first perspective on deep tomographic imaging in 2016, many follow-up papers and patents. Currently, deep learning-based imaging has become a mainstream in the medical imaging field. He is Fellow of IEEE, SPIE, AAPM, OSA, AIMBE, AAAS, and NAI, and received the RPI Wiley Distinguished Faculty Award, IEEE R1 Outstanding Teaching Award, IEEE EMBS Career Achievement Award, SPIE Meinel Technology Award, Sigma Xi Chubb Award for Innovation, and IEEE NPSS Hoffman Medical Imaging Scientist Award, and other distinctions.
