Biography
Shanshan received both her B.S. and Ph.D. from Xi’an Jiaotong University in China. She started to work in TRUE lab in 2015. Her work focused on “photoacoustic imaging and XACT imaging”.
In TRUE lab, Shanshan was awarded the Trainee Research Prize on X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography at RSNA 101ST Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting in Chicago. The award, presented to the author of the best paper submitted for oral scientific presentation in a specific subcategory, is the highest honor for a physics trainee at the RSNA annual meeting. She published 4 first-author journal articles and an additional journal article as a co-author, and applied 2 patents in 2 years.
