Research Interests

My main clinical specialties are radiation treatment of lung cancer and head & neck cancer, and I serve as the thoracic radiation oncology program leader.

My research interests include 4-D multimodality imaging to capture and compensate for breathing-induced motion using CT, PET, and MR; novel functional/metabolic imaging methods to characterize tumor biology; high-precision image-guided radiation therapy including 4-D IMRT, dynamic arc therapy, and radiosurgery.
