Dr. George Xu joined Rensselaer
in 1995 and is currently professor affiliated with the Nuclear Engineering
and Engineering Physics Program of the Department of
Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. As director for the Center for Engineering-Based Patient Modeling, Dr.
Xu works with a team of interdisciplinary faculty to formulate and solve
diverse medical problems using innovative physics-based modeling and
simulations. He holds adjunct faculty appointments at Albany Medical College
Department of Radiation Oncology (Albany, New York), Tsinghua
University (Beijing,
China) and Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Wuhan, China). Dr. Xu leads the Rensselaer Radiation Measurements and Dosimetry
Group (RRMDG) on research activities focusing on the development of
advanced computational and experimental tools related to the delivery,
measurement, and dosimetry of ionizing radiation in the human body. Past and current projects cover
radiation protection (health physics) and diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy
(medical physics) with funding from NSF, DOE, NIH, NIST and EPRI. Dr. Xu and his students
developed many advanced human anatomical models for Monte
Carlo simulations. In 2005, Dr. Xu co-founded the International Consortium of
Computational Human Phantoms and is a co-editor of “Handbook
of Anatomical Modeling for Radiation Dosimetry.” Dr. Xu received numerous awards
including the prestigious NSF Faculty CAREER Award, Rensselaer School of Engineering
Excellence in Research Award and American Nuclear Society Best-Paper Award.
He is the author/co-author of more than 250 scientific publications, 70
invited talks, 5 patents/disclosures and 5 software packages. Dr. Xu is a member of various technical
committees of AAPM, ASTRO, ANS,
HPS, ICRP,
NCRP, as well as a past president of
CIRMS. In 2008, he was elected to a
6-year term as a council member of National Council of Radiation Protection
and Measurements (NCRP).
- Dr. Xu gave a
keynote presentation
for UCLA Biomedical Physics Graduate Program Annual Colloquium
- Outline of “Handbook
of Anatomical Modeling for Radiation Dosimetry.”
