Research Interests:

Dr. Tambasco's research interests include:

i)        Investigating the biophysics effects of ionizing radiation in the presence of strong magnetic fields;

ii)      Developing a small sized detector that quantifies the enhanced biological effect of ionizing radiation;

iii)  Developing and evaluating deep learning techniques for quantifying the degree of tumor differentiation.

Projects ii, iii, and iv involve computational and/or experimental components, and students with computational and/or experimental

interest and background are encouraged to apply.

Recruiting:
