Assistant Attending (Faculty)

Memorial Sloan Kettering, Department of Medical Physics

My research addresses problems in radiation treatment planning and radiobiological modeling using the tools of optimization. I design, develop, and implement efficient algorithms for large-scale, distributed optimization and machine learning with applications to IMRT, IMPT, VMAT, and other treatment modalities. I also create software/solvers for general convex programming and analysis.

Postdoctoral Research Scholar

Memorial Sloan Kettering, Department of Medical Physics

Advised by Masoud Zarepisheh in the Department of Medical Physics. I conducted research on proton treatment planning and distributed optimization.
