Denis Bergeron

Denis Bergeron received a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Loyola University New Orleans and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the Pennsylvania State University. After a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Nottingham, he joined NIST in 2006. He has served on interagency and international committees focused on quantitative medical imaging and radionuclide metrology. Bergeron uses liquid scintillation and coincidence counting techniques, often in concert with Monte Carlo modeling, to realize absolute calibrations for therapeutic and imaging applications in nuclear medicine.
