Clinical Associate Professor
Biography
In my current role as an associate professor in the Department of Radiation Medicine, I strive to apply knowledge and expertise from several interdisciplinary fields to better serve cancer patients. I feel privileged to be part of a large and talented team of physicists and physicians here at UW Madison and to have the opportunity to serve at the main campus and also at UW Cancer Center–Johnson Creek. My goal is to ensure that all patients we treat at this satellite clinic receive the same level of care that they would at the main clinic. As a medical physicist, I apply strict quality assurance procedures to the radiation delivery machines as well as standard of practice procedures in conjunction with guidelines outlined at the main campus. I try to devise models for improving the radiation delivery mechanisms for better tumor control and less dose to normal critical organs.
