The goal of the Ph.D. degree in Therapeutic Medical Physics is to prepare students for careers as independent investigators in the field of medical physics. Graduates will be qualified to work in university departments, research institutes, laboratories, and industry as well as clinical residencies.
Active areas of research interest include: 

• Research and development in image guided radiotherapy, including morphological, physiological and molecular target signatures
• Research and development in Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy
• Research and development in optimization and inverse treatment planning techniques
• Development of techniques and dosimetry for radiosurgery
• Research and development in extracranial and spinal radiosurgery
• Research in the design and development of novel radiation delivery devices
