About

Biography

As an assistant professor in Radiation Oncology and Executive Administrative Director of the Proton Center, I specialize in advancing radiation therapy through innovation, efficiency, and data-driven approaches to care. My work focuses on external beam radiation therapy and treatment planning, with a strong emphasis on integrating automation and artificial intelligence into clinical practice.

My training includes residency and chief residency at Health Quest Medical Systems, where I developed a solid clinical foundation and leadership skills that continue to inform my approach to patient care and program development.

I am particularly interested in novel treatment planning techniques and the application of bioinformatics to improve precision and personalization in radiation therapy. My research also focuses on radiation safety and the use of automation and artificial intelligence—including machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning—to optimize workflows, enhance decision-making, and improve patient outcomes.

I believe that the future of radiation oncology lies in the thoughtful integration of advanced technologies with clinical expertise. By leveraging big data and innovative computational tools, I aim to help create more efficient, accurate, and patient-centered treatment strategies. Working in a collaborative environment allows me to partner with multidisciplinary teams committed to pushing the boundaries of cancer care.
