Research

My doctoral research, in Beijing Normal University, China, involves radiation simulation and radiation induced biological effects. Before coming to Stanford I was a postdoc of Peking University, where I did research about radiation cellular dosimetry and radiotherapy plan analyzing software. I am interested in researches in the following areas in medical physics: 1) Monte Carlo simulation of imaging process; 2) Radiotherapy plan making and analyzing; 3) Modeling of inverse problem in IGRT. At Lei Xing’s group in Stanford, I focus on topics about 4-D image-guided radiation therapy and 4-D adaptive therapy inverse planning techniques to account for respiratory motion during treatment.
