Tanxia Qu is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology. Her research is characterized by a first principles mindset aimed at identifying the core reasons behind problems and striving to solve them from the ground up. Inspired by Einstein's philosophy of simplicity and Ronald Reagan's principle of 'trust but verify', Dr. Qu applies this approach to the fields of medical physics, with a special focus on enhancing the accuracy of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). She developed the Source Target Guide (STG) theory, which abstracts the functions of SRS components to design the ideal SRS machine—a robotic system utilizing radiation for cancer treatment. Her innovative methods also extend to corporate management, where she uses market currency as a metric for accountability and proposes a company structure that aligns with the golden ratio to balance production and research and development. This framework aims to streamline operations and minimize bureaucracy.
