St. Room 530, New York, NY 10027. Applications received by July 1 will be considered. Preferential consideration for on-campus housing is given to applications received by February 15. Students who want to pursue doctoral research in medical physics must apply for admission to the doctoral program in applied physics , which requires course work beyond the 34-point program described above, and they must pass the applied physics doctoral qualifying examination. There are research opportunities in medical physics at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, as well as at other associated medical institutes.
Research is focused on developing advanced methods for the diagnosis and treatment of human disease.
Current emphasis is placed on developing advanced radiation transport methods for tomographic diagnosis, treatment facility calibration, and treatment planning. Other areas of specialty include imaging and tomography. The application deadline for admission to the doctoral program and for financial aid for the fall term is January 1 . Faculty Research Interests Howard Amols radiation physics, radiation dosimetry, microdosimetry, radiation therapy, medical physics. Peter D.
