Rui Zhang and mentor Wayne Newhauser calculate wayward radiation dose
Publishing high-quality research is a major advantage for graduate students in today's climate of financial austerity and intense competition for grants and fellowships.
Rui Zhang, a doctoral student in The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston (GSBS), recently served as first author of a major paper in the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology--a top-tier publication in the field of radiation physics.
Guided by his advisor, Wayne Newhauser, Ph.D., associate professor in The University of Texas MD Anderson's Department of Radiation Physics, Zhang and his co-authors developed a new analytical model to calculate the dosage of stray neutrons that cancer patients are exposed to while undergoing proton therapy.
