About

Kaley Woods is a medical physicist and radiation oncology engineer whose research sits at the intersection of accelerator technology and advanced radiotherapy delivery. Her work centers on compact linear accelerator (linac) design and novel treatment modalities, with a particular focus on pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in precise, conformal radiation therapy. Woods's most influential contribution — a 2021 paper on compact X-band electron linacs for radiotherapy and security applications, garnering 27 citations — demonstrates her ability to bridge clinical and non-medical applications of accelerator technology. Her earlier investigations into intermediate energy (2–3 MV) x-rays for extracranial robotic radiotherapy represent a forward-thinking approach to reducing normal tissue toxicity while maintaining tumoricidal dose, work that has drawn steady interest from the medical physics community since its 2014 publication. Her 2016 study on a novel hardware and software platform for 4π radiotherapy further illustrates her systems-level thinking, integrating compact linac hardware with sophisticated noncoplanar treatment optimization. Across her body of work, Woods has established herself as an innovative voice in next-generation radiotherapy technology, helping lay the groundwork for more compact, versatile, and clinically effective treatment systems.
