Research & Selected Publications

Research Interest

I am an ABR certified diagnostic medical physicist. My clinical responsibilities include interventional radiology, Y90 therapy, CT, and radiopharmaceutical therapy. My research focuses on imaging physics aspects of PET, CT, Y90 radioembolization, and other x-ray imaging modalities. I am interested in leveraging modern technology, both hardware and software, to improve and standardize diagnostic imaging and patient care. While my medical physics training is focused on diagnostic physics, my previous research and experience also includes radiation therapy. I therefore aim to continue to bridge my work in diagnostic physics with applications in radiation therapy where appropriate.
