Dr. Terry Peters is a Scientist in the Imaging Research Laboratories at the Robarts Research Institute (RRI), London, ON, Canada, and Professor in the Departments of Medical Imaging and Medical Biophysics at the University of Western Ontario, as well as a member of the Graduate Programs in Neurosciences and Biomedical Engineering. He is also an adjunct Professor at McGill University in Montreal. Dr. Peters received his graduate training at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand in Electrical Engineering, under the direction of Professor Richard Bates. His PhD work dealt with fundamental issues in Computed Tomography image reconstruction. For the past 30 years, his research has built on this foundation, focusing on the application of computational hardware and software advances to medical imaging modalities in surgery and therapy. Since 1997 Dr. Peters has been at the Robarts Research Institute at the University of Western Ontario, London Canada, where he has established a focus of image-guided surgery and therapy within the Robarts Imaging Research Laboratories. His lab has expanded over the past thirteen years to encompass image-guided procedures of the heart, brain and abdomen.

Dr. Peters has authored over 200 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters, a similar number of abstracts, and has delivered over 180 invited presentations. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine; the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine, the MICCAI Society, and the Institute of Physics. He is an executive member of the board of the MICCAI society, as well as its treasurer. He has mentored over 75 trainees at the Masters, Doctoral and Postdoctoral levels.
