Dr.  Gioietta Kuo received her Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics at Birmingham University, England and M.A. (Physics) at Cambridge University, England. She developed her thesis in low energy nuclear physics. Other educational pursuits include studies in mathematics, chemistry and physics at Cambridge University, (Newnham College) England.

She has co-authored over seventy scientific publications in international journals.

Recently, she has published a fascinating memoir, ‘A Himalayan Odyssey’, of her earlier years in China, England and Paris (publisher: 1stbooks).

Dr. Kuo's career has included the invention of a new high-resolution 3-D cone beam reconstruction algorithm for CT scanners covered by US patent #537 5156, 1994, which is now widely known. She also has three recent disclosure documents with the US Patent Office, 2002, on the implementation of the cone beam algorithm. Dr. Kuo was awarded the Excellence in Science Award - Ruder Boskovic, the first to measure the neutron-neutron scattering length in nuclear physics and was an Atlas Computer Fellow at the prestigious St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, GB before coming to work at Princeton University, NJ, USA.

Dr. Kuo has an extensive international research background that includes the Center for Computer Aids for Industrial Productivity, Rutgers University, USA; Siemens Medical Systems, Iselin, NJ, USA; Siemens Corporate Research, Princeton, NJ, USA; Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA; St. Hilda’s College, Oxford University, England; United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, Culham, Oxford, England; Institute Ruder Boskovic, Zagreb, Yugoslavia and the Commissariat d’Energie Atomique, Paris, France.

Dr. Kuo is currently Co-Founder of Astron CT, which is in the beginning stages of funding for a specialized CT Scanner designed for detection of weapons of mass destruction and other security applications. Beside that, her passions are the promotion of sustainable global population growth and eradication of poverty the world over.
