Overview of research
My major research focus involves application of leading edge technology to improving treatment outcomes (either increased cure rates or decreased complication rates) for radiation therapy patients. This involves significant collaboration between physicists, radiation therapists and radiation oncologists, often involving patients being treated in ethics approved research protocols designed to assess patient outcome.
As the leader of the Vancouver Island Centre's Medical Physics Group, my overall goal is to provide an environment where research opportunities for staff and students are an integral part of the work culture.
