Join us in welcoming Mohammad Hosseinian, an assistant professor from NC State’s Industrial and Systems Engineering Department, as he discusses operations research in cancer therapy. Alums and friends of the program are always welcome.
Operations Research in Cancer Therapy
This talk explores the applications of operations research in enhancing cancer treatment methods. The first part of the talk provides an overview of radiation therapy, with a focus on optimizing spatially fractionated radiation therapy. The second part addresses the optimization of drug administration in chemotherapy. Both sections will present current results and discuss future directions for research.
