Srijit Kamath serves as Assistant Professor of Therapeutic Radiology at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, with additional responsibility as Regional Chief Physicist overseeing operations at Trumbull Radiation Oncology, Smilow Cancer Hospital Care Center at Greenwich, and Griffin Hospital Lawrence and Memorial Cancer Center. His clinical leadership ensures physics standards across Yale's integrated cancer care network including Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Gamma Knife Center.
His academic foundation includes:
- Medical Physics Residency, University of Florida (2010)
- PhD, University of Florida (2005)
- MS, University of Florida (2000)
Dr. Kamath's research program centers on computational optimization of radiation therapy delivery, with seminal contributions to intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) field splitting algorithms, multileaf collimator sequencing, and deformable image registration. His work addresses critical challenges in treatment delivery efficiency while maintaining dosimetric accuracy, particularly for large-field treatments where conventional approaches risk underdosage at field junctions. He has pioneered methods to eliminate tongue-and-groove effects and optimize feathering techniques for seamless dose distributions.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2003-2011) reveals a consistent trajectory from foundational work on leaf sequencing algorithms to sophisticated solutions for deformable image registration and CBCT system optimization. His comparative studies of XVI and OBI CBCT systems established critical benchmarks for image quality in radiation therapy guidance, while his field-splitting algorithms remain clinically implemented for complex treatment geometries. The research demonstrates exceptional focus on translating computational advances into practical clinical workflows.

As Regional Chief Physicist, Dr. Kamath directs medical physics services across multiple community cancer centers, ensuring compliance with safety standards and optimal implementation of advanced techniques like stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). While student advising activities aren't specified, his role in Yale's residency training program involves mentoring medical physics residents through clinical rotations. The absence of grant documentation suggests primary focus on clinical service and technical innovation rather than externally funded research.
He operates within Yale's comprehensive radiation oncology infrastructure, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams at Smilow Cancer Hospital and affiliated centers to integrate advanced imaging and treatment technologies. His work directly supports the clinical mission of delivering precision radiation therapy through physics-driven quality assurance and process optimization.
