Biography

I am a researcher in the Department of Radiation Medicine. My primary focus is on brachytherapy—the treatment of disease using radiation over short distances, primarily using radioactive materials. I am responsible for the treatment planning, safety and administration of brachytherapy procedures at the University of Wisconsin Hospital. My previous role in the department was oversight of the TomoTherapy program from 2008 to 2010. Since joining the department in 2007, I have been responsible for the education of radiation physics residents and radiation therapy interns with regard to brachytherapy. My research focus includes improvement in MR/CT imaging for brachytherapy and improved administration and treatment planning methods for brachytherapy. I currently serve on the Human Radiation Use Committee (HRUC).
