Colin is a PhD student who was awarded his MS degree from the UF Medical Physics Graduate Program in Summer 2020. As a MS student, Colin’s research interests focused on image quality of iterative reconstructed images; evaluation and clinical applications of effective atomic number and electron density measuring; software in dual energy CT, and applications of machine learning in diagnostic radiography. His MS research project was titled “Accuracy of Effective Atomic Number and Electron Density Assessment in Dual-Energy CT: A Phantom Study”.

When he’s not conducting research, Colin enjoys cooking Asian foods, watching college football (especially the Florida Gators), and taking his dog Bailey to the park.
