Biography
I am an assistant professor and board-certified medical physicist in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. My clinical sub-specialty is brachytherapy. I also provide general physics support across the Department. I am active in several educational areas which include teaching a graduate course on advanced brachytherapy physics in the Department of Medical Physics, and presenting several lectures per year to MD residents and radiation therapy students.
My research is focused on developing novel approaches to integrate advanced imaging for biology guided radiotherapy. This includes work to develop a system to perform small animal intensity modulated radiation therapy that will improve dose conformity and enable dose painting studies (e.g., hypoxia) in a preclinical setting. Similarly, I am working to develop an optimization framework to target focal lesions in HDR brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
