معرفی
Shifeng Chen, Ph.D., is a Professor and Chief of Clinical Medical Physics in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Florida State University in 2006, followed by postdoctoral training at Duke University Medical Center. Before joining the University of Maryland in 2012, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
His research integrates clinical data mining and machine learning to model normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCP) for radiation therapy outcomes. He spearheads clinical innovations including RayStation Treatment Planning, Linac-based SRS/SBRT, thermal therapy programs, and calculation-based quality assurance systems. Key focus areas include:
- NTCP prediction using self-organizing maps and neural networks
- Optimization of IMRT/VMAT delivery and MLC modeling
- Radiation safety protocols and adaptive therapy techniques
- AI applications for outcome modeling and image segmentation
Dr. Chen actively contributes to professional societies including the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO). He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics.
