    Research interests

    For my PhD, I'll be working on developing personalized cancer treatment with a focus on glioblastoma (GBM). My research combines theranostic radiopharmaceuticals, molecular imaging (PET/SPECT/MRI), and ultrasound-enhanced delivery to study and improve targeted radiotherapy in preclinical cancer models. I enjoy interdisciplinary research that connects biology, imaging, and therapy to address clinically relevant questions.
