    Research Interest

    I have been working in three main research areas connected by Monte Carlo simulations: 1) treatment planning for small animal radiotherapy, 2) x-ray fluorescence CT (XFCT) imaging for high-sensitivity molecular imaging, and 3) a novel concept of radiation therapy with very high-energy electron (VHEE) beams. I have performed dose measurements at at SLAC, modeled the beamline with Monte Carlo, optimized VHEE treatment plans and done high-dose-rate radiobiology experiments.

  • Research Interest

    We seek to understand the mechanisms responsible for the resistance of cancers to treatment and to develop strategies to overcome these resistances. We are using molecular and cellular techniques and mouse models to potentiate the activity of radiation on tumors by inhibiting the bone marrow rescue of the tumor vasculature following therapy.
