At MSK, I serve as an Assistant Attending Physicist in the Radiotherapy Physics Service within the Department of Medical Physics at our regional site in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. I provide day-to-day clinical physics support, including equipment quality assurance, patient-specific plan review and quality checks, special physics consultations, motion management, brachytherapy and implementation of advanced treatment techniques.
In addition, I contribute specialized expertise to help deliver consistently high standards of care at MSK, including:
- Dual-energy X-ray CT to support accurate target delineation
- On-board tumor localization and tracking to enable precise treatment delivery
- Functional and dynamic imaging to evaluate treatment response
I am passionate about translating safe, reliable new technologies into routine clinical practice with the goal of improving patient outcomes. My training and research background enable me to focus on radiation therapy applications of ultra–high-resolution and energy-resolving photon-counting CT, as well as high resolution cone-beam CT. I am also interested in extracting functional information from time-resolved imaging enabled by advanced imaging hardware and modern image reconstruction methods. Looking ahead, I aim to integrate safe and explainable artificial intelligence into image-guided treatment workflows to enhance quality, consistency, and efficiency.
I received my PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and completed my clinical physics residency at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
