His research is focused on the characterization of radiation environments, understanding the response of humans and electronics to radiation exposure using both experimental and computational techniques, and radiation imaging.
We use computational tools to determine how much radiation the different organs in the human body receive in various exposure scenarios and to explore ways to reduce the resulting cancer risk. Additionally, we are interested in modeling the response of the human body to radiation using mathematics to predict the progression of radiation-induced cancer and the effectiveness of radiation as a cancer treatment.
