Assistant Professor
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center at Houston
Department of Radiation Physics
My research interests lie at the intersection of medical physics and computational methods,
with a specific focus on the development and optimization of advanced computational
techniques to improve treatment planning and dose calculations in radiation physics. I have
worked extensively with Monte Carlo transport simulations and other modeling techniques
to enhance the precision of dose delivery and evaluate the impact of high atomic number
materials in radiation therapy. Depending on the student's interests, the research will focus
on using computational physics to address gaps in traditional clinical approaches, with
particular emphasis on improving tumor targeting and patient-specific treatment planning.
