My research interests reflect my experience with particle radiation including neutron and proton therapy. I am currently investigating hadron therapy delivery techniques including passive scattering, beam scanning, beam collimation and intensity modulation. In support of my clinical practice, I am interested in applied absolute and relative radiation dosimetry of protons and neutrons. I am also interested in organ motion and its affects on treatment with active beam delivery systems.
