Research Interest

My primary research interest is in imaging for radiotherapy applications. In the past, I have worked on using dual-energy CT (DECT) for accurately estimating the proton beam range to enhance proton therapy precision. My current goal is to use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for enhancing the accuracy and enhancing the efficiency of radiotherapy. Real-time imaging and dose tracking for online/real-time adaptive radiotherapy will be a key area of my research in the future. I believe AI or deep learning will be an important software tool along with hardware innovations.
