Clinical mentor for the six of the last nine graduating medical physics residents at FCCC.

● Director of Medical Physics, Frankford-Torresdale Radiation Oncology facility

housing 2 Varian multi-energy Linacs (treating about 50-60 patients a day) and having a

strong prostate brachytherapy program (about 8 implants a month). Responsible for all

aspects of Radiation Therapy including QA, MU and dose calculation, planning, chart

● Commissioned and implemented a diode-based in-vivo dosimetry program at

Frankford Hospital, Commissioned a retrofit MLC to a Varian Linac and a complete

IMRT program (Pinnacle TP), Dynamic wedge, EPID, Acculoc gold seed prostate

localization system (IGRT) at Frankford Hospital. Pre-clinical testing done for

Respiratory gating system (Philips Large Bore CT & Varian RPM), Converted the

Frankford Hospital clinic to film-less electronic charting.

TP, CMS- Focus and XiO TP, Eclipse TP and MMS treatment planning systems; IMPAC

MOSAIQ record and verify system; Wellfofer and PTW data acquisition systems; TLD

calibration and dosimetry system, RIT film and digital data analyses software.

● Have done permanent prostate seed implants. Some experience in LDR and IORT.

●Training for receiving an authorized medical physicist (AMP) for HDR is completed.

Current Clinical Research Interest:

I am generally interested in all aspects of Radiation Therapy Physics including beam

modeling, dose calculation, and treatment planning. My current research interests lie in the areas of Intensity

Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image Guided Radiation

Therapy (IGRT), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT), Multi-modality (including

Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Magnetic Resonance

Spectroscopy) therapy targeting and therapy assessment, and PTV construction and Tx

delivery in the presence of target motion, 4DCT, 4DCBCT. I am also interested in developing and improving

Quality Assurance programs for radiation therapy in general and for the new emerging technologies in

particular. Total Body Irradiation (TBI) and modeling of radiobiological processes are also special areas of my

interest. Overall, I

have a broad interest and will welcome opportunities to work in new areas of research. I

enjoy mentoring and teaching tremendously and welcome any opportunity to participate in graduate, residency

and outreach programs.
