Research in both radiation oncology and diagnostic radiology benefit from the program’s presence in the clinical environment. The MR research group works at the UNM Mind Research Network in close collaboration with the physicians on new MR imaging and spectroscopy techniques.
Robert D. Rosenberg, M.D.
Principal investigator for the State of New Mexico for diagnostic mammographic
screening results stemming out of a nationwide outcome study.
L. Ketai, M.D.
Research project looking at the effects of various therapies on the inflammation of blood vessels of the lung.
Gary W. Cooper, Ph.D.
Radiation detection and measurements particularly as applied to the measurement
of fusion plasmas and energetic particles generated in z-pinch plasmas.
Anil K. Prinja, Ph.D.
Mathematical modeling, analysis, and simulation of high energy charged particle
transport using Monte Carlo and deterministic finite element methods;
closure-and nonclosure-based approaches for particle transport in
random media; fundamental transport theory.
Shaung (Sean) Luan, Ph.D.
Research interests include (1) computational medicine and biomedical
engineering, (2) algorithms design, analysis and implementation, and
(3) computational geometry. Computational medicine is an emerging and
promising inter-disciplinary field and serves as a bridge between
biology, medical physics and medical applications. Current research
emphasizes on the design and development of efficient and effective
computer algorithms and software for radiation oncology.
