About
Monica Serban is a leading researcher in the field of medical physics, with a primary focus on advancing radiation therapy techniques for cancer treatment. Her work centers on the optimization of mixed electron–photon radiation therapy (MBRT), an emerging approach that promises to spare healthy tissue while improving dose coverage for superficial tumors. In her most cited work, "Robust mixed electron–photon radiation therapy optimization" (2019, 14 citations), Serban addresses the critical challenge of treatment uncertainty by developing robust optimization algorithms that account for patient setup errors and organ motion. This contribution is foundational for the clinical translation of MBRT, particularly as robotic linear accelerators become more widespread. Her research bridges the gap between advanced computational methods and practical radiotherapy delivery, offering tangible improvements in treatment precision. With a growing citation impact, Serban is recognized for her innovative integration of optimization theory with clinical oncology, making her a key figure in the next generation of adaptive and personalized cancer care.
