I am a radiation oncology resident physician passionate about improving patients' quality and quantity of life. I hope to contribute to innovating cancer care with cost-effective technologies everyone has access to. I also want to find ways to implement digital solutions to improve patient education and decrease administrative burden in health care.

My research interests include cost-effectiveness in oncology, the validity of using observational big data for comparative effectiveness, oncologic outcomes of Veterans, and health disparities.
