Biography

My research is primarily focused on developing new techniques and tools for advanced radiation therapy treatment planning. I aim to standardize treatment-planning approaches, automate plan generation, and reduce radiation therapy treatment planning time. A particular area of interest is treatment-planning automation for complex multi-isocentric treatments. By leveraging vendor-provided application programming interfaces (APIs) and in-house software solutions, I directly interact with commercial treatment planning systems to facilitate the creation of complex field arrangements and optimization goals. I have played a leading role in the development of automated treatment planning tools for complex multi-isocentric treatments, such as total body irradiation (TBI) and craniospinal irradiation (CSI). The department's tools are available worldwide for use in clinics and academic centers. Together with my colleagues, I focus on increasing the efficiency of highly time-sensitive treatments. A successful example of this effort is the implementation of an auto-planning approach applied to single-fraction spinal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments.
