Education

PhD, Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio

I am a board-certified medical physicist, embedded in the Physics Computer Service of the Medical Physics Department (MPCS). As the Deputy Chief of MPCS, my primary responsibility is to provide technical support for activities related to radiotherapy physics, with a focus on developing computer applications to facilitate treatment planning and delivery.

My research interests are in developing deep learning algorithms for the timely prediction of radiotherapy response, incorporating the predictive model into the optimization of the clinical workflows of adaptive radiotherapy, and integrating novel imaging and delivery sequences for image-guided radiation therapy. My focus is on providing key software services to keep Memorial Sloan Kettering at the cutting edge of radiotherapy.

Disclosures

Doctors and faculty members 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.

MSK requires doctors and faculty members 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.
