Research Interests:
Research interests include engineering development and evaluation of novel RF and microwave hyperthermia applicators and thermal monitoring technologies, translation of new treatment approaches from the laboratory to clinic, and development of new clinical techniques and protocols for improved treatment of cancer by combining non-toxic levels of heat with radiation, chemotherapy, and heat-targeted liposome-delivered therapy.
