Biography
I am a medical physicist and an imaging scientist. My research interests focus on the investigation of novel forms of image-guidance for radiation therapy. Throughout my career, I have focused on impactful, multidisciplinary, clinically translatable research. For the past few years, I have worked on developing rapid MRI techniques in order to further improve image-guidance in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The eventual goal of my research is to achieve truly 4D IGRT - "see" all four dimensions at all stages during radiotherapy.
