Biography
Michael Prusator joined the Department of Radiation Oncology in 2020 after completing his residency in Therapy Medical Physics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He received a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry with minors in Physics, Mathematics and Biology from the University of the Ozarks. He then received a master’s and doctoral degree in Radiological Sciences from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center where he used Monte Carlo simulation to model and characterize a new compact proton therapy system. His current research interests include motion management in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia using SBRT, adaptive proton therapy, and proton Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
