Research

Research interests

-Radiation Physics

-Detector Physics

-Automated imaging/image analysis

-Microbeam technology and applications

-Microdosimetry/Nanodosimetry/Biodosimetry

I am particularly interested in the development of precise instrumentation for measurement of radiation effects in physical and biological systems.
