1) Roberto Salvati completed his Master's thesis in physics on "Image quality in Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography (TOF-PET)" at the University of Naples "Federico II", discussing it magna cum laude in December 2011. 2) His thesis analyzed laboratory PET scan data and Monte Carlo simulated PET data of torsos to assess the dependence of noise and contrast-to-noise ratio on count statistics and iterations when reconstructing with and without TOF information. 3) The letter's author, Paolo Russo, knows Salvati since 2010 and recommends him for a PhD position in medical physics, describing him as a motivated, reliable,
