The long-term objective of my research program is to increase the accuracy of dose measurements, dose optimization, and dose calculations for radiation-based precision medicine. This is achieved through a comprehensive research program combining elements of basic and applied research in medical physics and biomedical engineering. The proposed program hinges on radiation physics, optics, numerical optimization problems, image and signal processing, and high-performance numerical computing. It is a well-established, wide-ranging, and highly productive research program. The methodology used combines both experimental and numerical approaches to build tools and algorithms that are novel and clinically relevant to radiation medicine.
