Ashok Tiwari, PhD
Resident Appointee
Bio
Ashok is a Medical Physics resident at Indiana University Health. Before joining IU Health, he earned his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Iowa and spent some time working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a postdoctoral scientist. He completed his Certificate in Medical Physics from Wake Forest University. His primary focus is on the physics of cancer treatment, particularly through the application of radiation.
