Greeshma Agasthya

Greeshma Agasthya is a biomedical engineer with experience in medical imaging research and modeling and simulation for radiation dosimetry. Greeshma got her Ph.D. from Duke University and developed a neutron imaging system for early liver cancer diagnosis. She completed her postdoctoral training at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute working on optimizing an X-ray-based breast tomosynthesis system. She is currently a research scientist in the advanced computing for health sciences section at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She has developed and used multiscale modeling and simulations of the human body for virtual clinical trials, radiation dosimetry for imaging and therapy, and optimization of medical imaging systems for cancer applications. She has worked on artificial intelligence (AI) for predicting disease outcomes, and clinical decision support.
