Dr. Rojano Kashani, M.S., Ph.D., Clinical Chief of Physics and Dosimetry at University Hospitals at Case Western Reserve University.

Dr. Kashani began her career in medical physics while an undergraduate student in electrical engineering, working as a research assistant in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan. She continued her education by earning an MS and PhD in Nuclear Engineering, focusing her research on adaptive radiotherapy and deformable image registration algorithms. After graduation, she completed a residency at Washington University in St. Louis, where she stayed on as a faculty member. Dr. Kashani led the first clinical implementation of online adaptive MR-guided radiotherapy in 2014 and the first clinical implementation of cardiac radioablation in 2015. Over the years, she has trained several radiation oncology and medical physics residents and has been involved in teaching didactic courses to physics, dosimetry, and radiotherapy students. She is a fellow of AAPM and maintains an active role on several committees and task groups within AAPM, NRG, and ASTRO, currently acting as the physics track chair for ASTRO’s annual meeting education committee. Dr. Kashani holds the positions of Clinical Chief of Physics and Dosimetry at University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
