Biography

Dr. Roberts previously worked in experimental nuclear physics for 20 years and has 85 publications in nuclear physics.  Since joining the staff of the Department of Radiation Oncology he has 10 publications on imaging in amorphous silicon detectors, dose measurements in amorphous silicon detectors, as well as peripheral dose, brachytherapy quality assurance, and measurements of dosimetric impact of embolization materials on stereotactic radiosurgery plans.  He has also has been involved in research into the role of complexity in treatment planning.
