Biography
My primary focus is on clinical care, and within that area, the implementation and management of treatment planning systems. We are leveraging new software technologies to bring all relevant patient information and data into one environment in order to facilitate treatment plan design. This not only applies to calculating treatment dose, but also supporting the development of calculating other quantities, such as treatment response. To support research initiatives in these areas, we have established a separate dedicated treatment planning environment that provides a sandbox in order to develop and test new approaches to treatment planning.
I engage in many informal teaching activities, from mentoring medical physics residents to serving as guest lecturer in medical physics courses. I also work with undergraduates in the Biomedical Engineering Department on medical equipment development projects. Given my background working in the medical device industry, I am actively involved in ASTRO professional organization committees and sub-committees.
