Christopher Schneider

Christopher Schneider is an Academic Medical Physicist at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center (2021–present) and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University (2022–present). He holds a Ph.D. in Medical Physics (Louisiana State University, 2019) and a B.S. in Physics (Southeastern University, 2010). He is board-certified in Therapeutic Medical Physics by the American Board of Radiology (DABR, 2022).

His research focuses on radiation dosimetry in radiotherapy, including stray radiation exposure characterization via Monte Carlo simulations, analytical models, and measurements. Current interests include reducing radiation-induced side effects and advancing adaptive radiation therapy. He has published extensively on topics like absorbed dose calculations and neutron dosimetry in proton therapy.

Key scientific contributions include developing models to predict therapeutic and stray radiation doses, validated through experimental measurements. He has also contributed to integrating analytical models into proton therapy planning systems.
