Yu Kuang received his B.Eng. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 1997 and 2004, respectively, and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH in 2009. He was a Research Fellow in the Department of Radiology at University of Michigan Hospital in 2010. And then he continued his radiation therapy physics clinical and postdoctoral research training in the Radiation Physics Division of Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine until 2012. Currently, he is a Lincy Endowed Assistant Professor in the Medical Physics Program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). He is an Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Radiation Therapy (OMICS Publishing Group). Recently, he has received two “Best in Physics” (BIP) awards (one for imaging track, the other for joint imaging-therapy track) in 2012 American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) annual meeting. BIPs were the scored highest in the blind abstract review process and were judged to reflect “the highest level of scientific quality and innovation”. Meanwhile, he also received a Basic Science Abstract Award -Radiation Physics Category in 2012 American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting, and a travel award in 2012 World Molecular Imaging Congress in Dublin, Ireland. He has a long standing research interest in the development and translation of novel imaging and therapeutic techniques utilizing ionizing radiation Yu Kuang received his B.Eng. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 1997 and 2004, respectively, and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH in 2009.
