Liyuan Chen

Liyuan Chen, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. She earned her doctorate from Hong Kong Baptist University and completed postdoctoral training followed by a clinical residency in UT Southwestern's Medical Physics Residency Program, where she served as chief resident during her second year.

Her research focuses on computational approaches in radiation oncology, including:

• Advanced medical image reconstruction and processing techniques
• Inverse treatment planning optimization methods
• Machine learning models for treatment outcome prediction
• Deep learning applications in cancer imaging and radiotherapy
• Adaptive radiotherapy protocol development

Dr. Chen's recent publications (2020-2025) demonstrate strong emphasis on artificial intelligence applications in oncology, particularly deep learning models for medical image analysis, treatment planning automation, and predictive oncology. Her work consistently addresses clinical challenges in head and neck cancer, lung malignancies, and prostate cancer radiotherapy through innovations in convolutional neural networks, reinforcement learning frameworks, and adaptive treatment protocols.
