Portrait of Sangwook Kim

Professional focus

Bridging rigorous clinical practice with responsible innovation.

01Profile

From computational research to clinical medical physics.

I am a PhD candidate in Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, radiation therapy, and medical imaging.

My interests have expanded from developing computational methods to understanding how complex technologies are safely validated, implemented, and maintained in clinical practice.

My goal is to contribute not only to new technologies, but to their careful validation and safe use in patient care.

02Clinical Medical Physics

Clinical insight grounded in patient safety.

During a 2026 Radiation Oncology observership at Gangnam Severance Hospital in Seoul, I gained exposure to the systems, checks, and multidisciplinary decisions behind modern treatment delivery.

Machine QA

Exposure to the quality assurance processes that support safe, reliable treatment delivery.

Patient-Specific QA

Experience observing verification workflows designed around treatment accuracy and patient safety.

Treatment Planning

Clinical perspective on plan development, chart review, and adaptive radiotherapy workflows.

MR-Guided Radiotherapy

Focused interest in the Elekta Unity MR-Linac and the integration of imaging with adaptive treatment.

Particular interest: adaptive radiotherapy and the Elekta Unity MR-Linac.
