Hao Jiang

Posdoctoral Research Fellow // Ph.D

A physicist turned engineer who would like to better the world with his expertise in nuclear physics and imaging science.

Hello, my name is Hao Jiang and I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Trained as a physicist and engineer, I have developed strong analytical skills and a particular interest in nuclear engineering and radiological sciences. My doctorate research is on the development of high-efficiency megavoltage X-ray detectors for radiotherapy imaging. Currently I work as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan Health Systems. I have genuinely enjoyed my research since it gives me the precious opportunity to leverage my physics knowledge and skill in the battle against cancer. Therefore I am keenly seeking a research position that could utilize my expertise in the field of physics and imaging science.
