About Dr. Emily Heath

Research summary

Advances in radiation therapy techniques allow for a very precise dose of radiation to be delivered to the tumour. However errors in the delivery process, patient motion and uncertainties in the biological properties of tumour cells reduce the efficacy of radiation therapy treatments. My research aims to develop methods to model these uncertainties as well as to develop new radiation therapy planning techniques which can compensate for these uncertainties to ensure that the correct dose is delivered.

I am currently looking for new graduate students to join my research group. Please visit my website for more details about potential research projects.
