Assistant Professor
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Department of Radiation Physics
As a part of the IROC Houston Quality Assurance Center, my work provides scientific expertise in radiotherapy to support establishing appropriate quality assurance (QA) procedures used in National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored clinical trials. My ultimate goal is to ensure precise and reliable radiation treatments for clinical trial patients by minimizing uncertainties and maximizing accuracy. As such, my research is dedicated to enhancing radiation therapy QA through innovative techniques and continuous improvements. Currently, I am focused on advancing QA methods for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) applications and developing more individualized plan feedback for IROC's phantom programs. Depending on a student's interests, work with me could include elements of treatment planning, radiation beam modeling and testing, or other clinical dosimetry applications for novel therapies. Other common graduate student projects with our group include development and testing of anthropomorphic phantoms for new clinical trials, research of dosimeters for therapy applications, as well as treatment planning and machine QA studies.
