I am a radiation oncologist who specializes in the treatment of head and neck, lung, and skin cancers. I serve on national guidelines committees outlining the best practices for these cancers. I design clinical trials to improve treatment of these cancers. I give lectures and design courses to help others learn more about how to best treat these cancers. I am a journal editor and interested in publishing the best scientific research on these diseases.
Major research interests include:

- innovations in radiation therapy
- combinations of targeted therapy and immunotherapy with radiation
- virally driven cancers such as HPV, EBV, and Merkel cell polyomavirus
- radiation protectants
