Biography

I pursued my graduate studies at Hampton University in Hampton, VA, spanning from 2007 to 2014. During my doctoral program, I engaged in research activities at various renowned particle accelerator facilities worldwide, including the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory in Newport News, VA, MIT-BATES Linear Accelerator Center in Cambridge, MA, German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany, and Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland. Additionally, I received training at Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute and was awarded my PhD in 2014. Following this, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2016, and subsequently joined St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as a staff medical physicist in May 2016. I obtained my certification as a diplomate in Medical Physics from the American Board of Radiology in May 2019. In October 2022, I was promoted to the position of Assistant Member on the clinician (50%) and scientist (50%) track at Radiation Oncology Department of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I have a background in high energy particle physics, with specific training and expertise in proton therapy, radiation detection methods and data mining of large datasets. At St Jude, I have been working on adaptive radiation therapy, normal organ auto-segmentation, motion management strategies, surface guided radiation therapy, imaging, and treatment techniques for reducing radiation-induced toxicity.
