PhD, Mechanical Engineering, Boston University; BS, Biomedical Engineering, University of Cincinnati

I am an assistant attending physicist in the Department of Medical Physics responsible for ultrasound clinical support and research. My work involves the development and implementation of new techniques, optimization of imaging protocols, and quality analysis. To achieve these objectives,  I collaborate across disciplines with engineers, physicists, radiologists, cardiologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and other clinicians at MSK.

My research interests are the development of quantitative imaging biomarkers for oncology with advanced ultrasound imaging techniques and an ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound system for clinical applications of therapeutic ultrasound, such as drug delivery, immunotherapy, and tissue ablation.
