Our research focuses on developing advanced radiation detection technologies, precision dosimetry methods, and computational approaches to address emerging challenges in radiation therapy and medical imaging. By integrating detector engineering, experimental measurements, and Monte Carlo simulations, we aim to improve the accuracy, reliability, and clinical applicability of radiation measurement and imaging systems.
We develop compact, high-sensitivity scintillation detectors and radiation sensors for real-time, high-spatial-resolution measurements. Our research emphasizes fiber-integrated scintillation micro-detectors, novel scintillator materials, detector miniaturization, and advanced optical readout systems for applications in medical physics and radiation detection.
We investigate radiation detector performance, measurement accuracy, and dosimetric methodologies for challenging clinical radiation fields, including small-field radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), brachytherapy, and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). Our work combines experimental characterization with Monte Carlo modeling to evaluate detector response, measurement uncertainties, and clinical applicability.
We develop and evaluate radiation detection technologies for ultra-high-dose-rate (FLASH) radiation therapy and emerging radiation modalities, including electron, proton, and very-high-energy electron (VHEE) beams. Our research focuses on real-time dose and dose-rate measurements, time-resolved detector response, and dosimetric challenges associated with conventional and FLASH irradiation conditions.
We investigate advanced scintillator-based detector architectures, radiation imaging technologies, and computational methods for molecular and nuclear medicine imaging. Our research aims to improve spatial resolution, detection sensitivity, and quantitative imaging accuracy through detector optimization, Monte Carlo simulations, and emerging data-analysis approaches.
