²ÝÁñÊÓƵ

As a Medical Physicist I seek to bring together physics, medicine, engineering, computer science and biology in developing advancements in radiation medicine.  Specifically I am interested in developments in proton therapy including patient alignment, Monte Carlo, beam delivery, dosimetry and imaging.  I obtained my undergraduate and graduate training in medical physics from the University of Wollongong in Australia.  This training had a large laboratory and clinical component which focused on multidisciplinary solutions to overcoming challenges in medical physics.  During the course of my PhD studies I spent a total of 18 months in the US completing research at a number of institutions including the US Naval Academy, Brookhaven National Laboratory, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard School of Medicine.  This research was sponsored in part by a Fulbright Scholarship which I was fortunate enough to be awarded with in 2005. 

Since 2007 I have been a member of the Department of Radiation Medicine at the James M. Slater MD Proton Treatment and Research Center working as a Medical Physicist in proton and radiation therapy. In 2011 I was made a diplomate of the Americal Board of Radiology in Therapeutic Medical Physics. My current acatemic appointments include Professor in the School of Medicine at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ and Honorary Fellow at the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics at the University of Wollongong.  These positions are excellent as they allows me to use a multi-disciplinary approach to progressing proton therapy and in turn pass my knowledge onto students.
