Prof. Xie George Xu is a Professor and Director of the Institute of Nuclear Medical Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei, China). Before recently relocating to China, he was the Edward E. Hood Endowed Chair Professor of Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, New York, USA). Prof. Xu has mentored 100 Ph.D and M.S. students in the U.S. and China. Widely known for his work on “computational phantoms” and “advanced Monte Carlo simulations”, his publication list includes two books, 600 peer-reviewed papers/chapters/abstracts and 150 invited talks.
Prof. Xu is a fellow of American Nuclear Society (ANS), Health Physics Society (HPS), American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), and American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), as well as a council member of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and was a past president of the Council on Ionizing Radiation Measurements and Standards (CIRMS). He has served as a reviewer/editorial board member of Medical Physics, Physics in Medicine & Biology, and Radiation Protection Dosimetry for 20+ years.
Prof. Xu and his team have developed commercial software tools (http://www.wisdom-tech.online/) including VirtualDose (a CT and IR patient dose reporting software), ARCHER (a GPU-based Monte Carlo dose computing software for treatment planning and dose QA verification), DeepViewer (an image segmentation and registration software tool), and DeepPlan (a treatment planning system).
Recent professional recognitions received by him include: CIRMS Randal S. Caswell Award for Distinguished Achievements (2015), HPS Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award (2018), ANS Arthur Holly Compton Award in Education (2020), ANS Rockwell Lifetime Achievement Award in Radiation Protection and Shielding (2020), AAPM Edith H. Quimby Award for Lifetime Achievement in Medical Physics (2020) and IUPESM Award of Merit in Medical Physics (2022).
