Academic Interests

My academic interests center on medical and radiation physics, with a focus on using physics-based research to improve cancer treatment and patient care. I am particularly interested in radiation therapy, dosimetry, and the development of cost-effective tissue-equivalent materials that can increase access to advanced treatments.

I am also deeply interested in the intersection of computer science and healthcare, where data analysis, simulation, and computational tools play a critical role in medical research and clinical applications. Through interdisciplinary work, I aim to connect technology, physics, and medicine to support meaningful advances in healthcare and radiation science.
