Jeffrey V. Siebers
Ph.D. Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin
|
Background: Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology. Following his Ph.D., he assisted in developing the proton beam radiation therapy program at Loma Linda University Medical Center. His research expertise is in achieving accurate dose evaluation for 3D conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), particularly using Monte Carlo transport simulations of therapy treatment systems. Dr. Siebers has an NIH-funded research grant to study optimization of IMRT treatment beams such that the effects and limitations of the beam delivery system, dose calculation uncertainties, and patient set-up errors are fully accounted for during the IMRT optimization process. Dr. Siebers also has industry sponsored grants developing IMRT dosimetry with electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) and Monte Carlo algorithms for patient dose calculations. Dr. Siebers teaches PHYS 563, Radiological Physics and Radiation Dosimetry, serves on student advisory committees, and mentors graduate students. He also serves as the Medical Physics Graduate Program Director.
