Eric Peterson has worked in the field of MRI since 2003. Eric began their career as a Research Assistant at the University of Iowa, where they analyzed lung motion during breathing and developed image analysis tools. In 2005, they moved to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where they researched cancer detection and classification, developed real-time metabolic MRI imaging, and researched asthma progression using CT, helium MRI, and clinical breath test data. In 2011, Peterson became a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Bordeaux 2, where they researched brain aging and disease and developed a clinical high-resolution brain imaging toolkit. In 2012, they became a Researcher and then a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University, where they managed a clinical stroke imaging study, researched stroke using MRI and CT imaging techniques, and developed image and signal processing for improved image quality and reliable diagnoses. In 2015, Peterson joined SRI International as a Research Scientist, where they managed a small animal MRI facility, developed protocols and regular quality control procedures for both human and animal studies, and researched alcohol addiction using MRI. In 2017, Peterson joined Vista.ai as a Senior Software Engineer and Director of MRI. In this role, they developed FDA cleared software for cardiac MRI, worked at all levels of the software, and managed development for the RTHawk Cardiac Package.

Eric Peterson completed a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical/Medical Engineering from the University of Iowa in 2005. Eric then continued their studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, earning a Master of Science in Biomedical/Medical Engineering in 2007 and a Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical/Medical Engineering in 2010.
