Join us!

We welcome curious, motivated individuals to work with us on the frontiers of quantitative modeling in radiation biophysics. Our work spans radiopharmaceutical therapy, radiobiology and radioembolization, with a strong focus on computational modeling, Monte Carlo simulation, and translational applications.

📌 Who WE LOOK FOR

We are open to people from diverse scientific backgrounds:

  • Physics, biomedical engineering, medical physics
  • Radiation biology, nuclear engineering
  • Computer science (scientific computing, imaging)
  • … and adjacent fields

OPPORTUNITIES

SUMMER PROJECTS

For undergraduates or early graduate students looking for:

  • Work on a well-defined modeling or analysis project
  • Gain experience with tools like TOPAS-nBIO, Python, 3D modeling
  • Present results in lab meetings or posters

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS

Depending on funding, we support independent postdoc work in:

  • Monte Carlo development (OpenTOPAS, physics modules)
  • Vascular or transport modeling
  • Alpha therapy modeling and radiobiological effects

LAB CULTURE

We work at the intersection of simulation, biology, and oncology.
Projects are collaborative and goal-driven, but flexible to individual interests.
Expect regular feedback, publication opportunities, and mentorship tailored to your goals.
