Biography

Education: BS Union College, Schenectady NY 1990 MA State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo NY 1993 PhD University of Massachusetts Lowell 1997 I perform experimental and computational (Monte Carlo) research in the field of applied nuclear physics with a focus on Medical and Health Physics. Presently my research group is investigating: the development of a unique technique to enable high-resolution in-vivo functional imaging using neutrons, the adaptation of a 169Yb brachytherapy source to enable localized intensity-modulated radiation therapy, the creation of a field-deployable device for radiological and topological characterization, and are analyzing the time-dependent resuspension of radioactive Am-241 into the atmosphere. We are always interested in having new students at both the undergraduate and graduate level join our research program.
