Hardev Singh Grewal, PhD
Physicist
Dr. Hardev Grewal is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Florida, working at the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute. His extensive clinical experience with proton therapy treatment delivery systems at the Oklahoma Proton Center makes Dr. Grewal a welcome addition to our medical physics team. Dr. Grewal has experience with the installation, acceptance and commissioning of new proton therapy equipment, as well as working to ensure a seamless integration and workflow of the various software programs required to deliver proton treatments.
Dr. Grewal enjoys sharing his passion for physics and taught various undergraduate physics courses over the years. In addition, he continues to present his research at national and international conferences, such as the Annual meetings of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and the Annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and has been doing so since 2012. Dr. Grewal also publishes the outcomes of his ongoing studies and clinical experience to improve the use of medical physics in radiation oncology and has published more than 10 peer-reviewed journal articles.
While his current focus is on proton therapy treatment delivery, Dr. Grewal also has extensive experience in the use of X-ray based therapies including Tomotherapy, linear accelerators and brachytherapy. He is a member of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and the Southwest Chapter of AAPM.
