Biography
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Medicine with a clinical focus in proton therapy. My clinical work includes treatment planning, patient-specific and machine quality assurance, and the commissioning and implementation of new proton therapy techniques and technologies.
My research focuses on the development and clinical translation of upright and FLASH proton therapy, Monte Carlo dose calculation, scintillation dosimetry and 3D printing. I am also involved in the education and mentorship of medical physics residents, students, and other trainees.
