About

Biography

As an associate professor in Radiation Oncology, I specialize in advancing proton therapy and pediatric radiation oncology through precision treatment planning, rigorous quality assurance, and innovative research. My work is focused on improving outcomes while reducing toxicity, particularly for pediatric patients who require highly tailored and safe treatment approaches.

My training includes postdoctoral research in both radiology and radiation oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a medical physics residency at the University of Washington. I am board certified in Therapeutic Medical Physics by the American Board of Radiology, reflecting my commitment to clinical excellence and patient safety.

I have a strong interest in proton therapy treatment planning, image guidance, and quality assurance, as well as advanced optimization techniques such as linear energy transfer (LET)-based intensity modulated proton therapy. I am also actively involved in the development and implementation of Proton FLASH clinical trials, helping to translate emerging technologies into meaningful clinical applications.

My research focuses on proton minibeam radiation therapy and radiobiology, as well as Proton FLASH radiation therapy and its biological effects. I am particularly interested in ultra-high dose rate proton beam dosimetry, detector development, and Monte Carlo simulation methods. In addition, I study variable proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) modeling to better understand and predict treatment response.

I believe that the future of radiation oncology lies in combining advanced physics, biology, and technology to create safer and more effective therapies. Through collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, I strive to bring innovative research into clinical practice and improve care for patients of all ages.
