Yihang Xu, Ph.D. serves as a Medical Physicist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Miami. He provides clinical physics coverage for external beam radiotherapy, online adaptive therapy, proton therapy, stereotactic treatments, and machine commissioning.
Dr. Xu earned his B.S. in Medical Imaging and Radiological Science from Chang Gung University, where he was first introduced to medical physics and gained early research experience in PTSIM Monte Carlo simulation for proton therapy. He then pursued his Ph.D. from University of Miami in Biomedical Engineering, focusing on Medical Physics. His doctoral research focused on image-guided adaptive proton therapy, deformable image registration, dose accumulation, uncertainty quantification, and knowledge-based treatment planning, with the goal of improving robustness and accuracy of adaptive proton therapy. After completion of his Ph.D., he continued his training as a therapeutic medical physics resident at University of Miami.
