My areas of professional interest include health policy; I serve on multiple committees for ASTRO and ACRO and serve as physician leader for these societies. My academic interest currently focuses on the use of electronic brachytherapy for the primary treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer. I currently serve as PI for a multi-site prospective study and PI for a single-center retrospective study.
