Advanced visualization technology developer TeraRecon has appointed TieCheng Zhao, PhD, as its vice president of engineering.

Zhao joined TeraRecon in 2001, when the company acquired its real-time visualization business unit of Mitsubishi Electric, where he was co-creator and architect of VolumeProNET, a network-based volume rendering server, and the predecessor to TeraRecon’s AquariusNET Server.

Previously, Zhao worked as a CT physicist with GE Healthcare, where he was involved with that company’s four-slice CT scanner, as well as a research scientist at NASA, TeraRecon said.
