Research Description

I am a medical physicist working at the intersections of nuclear medicine, quantitative imaging, and radiation dosimetry. I received a Ph.D. in medical physics from UCLA in 2022 during which I worked under Dr. Magnus Dahlbom in the translational theranostics group led by Dr. Johannes Czernin. My PhD research focus was on evaluating new tracers and dosimetry calculations in radionuclide therapies, both in preclinical models and in patients. Following my graduate work, I joined the imaging physics residency program at Oregon Health & Science University to further train across all imaging modalities. My research interests include image quantification, dosimetry for nuclear medicine procedures, and the prediction and monitoring of responses to radiopharmaceutical therapies. Clinically, I am interested in the integration of radiation dosimetry to build towards more personalized treatments for patients and advance clinical care.
