Bio

Dr. Peters obtained BEng Hons (1969) and PhD? in Electrical Engineering (1973) from Canterbury, New Zealand. After that he completed Post Doctoral Fellowship in Biozentrum, Basel, Switzerland (1974). He became a professor at McGill? University, Canada in 1978. Later, he joined University of Western Ontario in 1997 and since then he runs Robarts Research Institute. He has been awarded with fellowship of several renowned professional organizations such as American Association of Medical Physicists (2003), Institute of Physics (1999), Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (1996), and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (2009).

Dr. Peters' laboratory, Robarts Research Institute, is concerned with the development and validation of tools that allow surgeons to make efficient use of images, produced by sophisticated 3-D imaging systems, during surgical procedures. The objective of minimally-invasive neurosurgery is to resect or lesion the smallest volume of brain tissue, causing the least trauma to the patient while achieving the desired therapeutic result.
