Biography
Dr. Lamoureux received three separate Bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Biology from the University of Miami and Jacksonville University. She then went on to study Medical Physics at the University of Florida where she received her Masters and Doctorate degree in Biomedical Engineering with a Medical Physics concentration. Her dissertation is titled Investigation of The Impact of Table Positioning, Protocol Adjustments, and Internal Shielding on CT Image Quality, Organ Doses, and Organ Dose Calculations in Postmortem Subjects. Following her studies, Dr. Lamoureux moved to Albuquerque, NM where she began a fellowship in Diagnostic Medical Physics here at the University of New Mexico. In this role she helped to establish the Diagnostic Medical Physics Residency as she received her training. Upon completing her fellowship, Dr. Lamoureux successfully secured a position as an Assistant Professor and has been working in this role since November of 2018. Dr. Lamoureux now serves as a mentor for the computed tomography and ultrasound portions of the residency program training. Her other teaching responsibilities include teaching Radiology Residents medical physics for the Authorized User Course as well as teaching diagnostic medical physics courses in the University’s Medical Physics Graduate Program.
