Welcome to Stanford Radiation Oncology, Olga Stafford! Dr. Stafford joins our department as a clinical assistant professor (radiation physics). Her professional and research interests focus on the safe clinical integration of advanced technologies in radiation oncology, including AI-support workflows, stereostatic radiosurgery, small-field dosimetry, adaptive radiation therapy, and practical QA strategies that support safe and scalable implementation in community practice.

“I look forward to contributing to Stanford’s clinical, educational, and collaborative mission,” she said. Let’s all wish Dr. Stafford a warm welcome!

We are thrilled to welcome (back) Zhuoran Jiang to our department as a clinical assistant professor of radiation oncology (radiation physics)! Dr. Jiang recently completed her medical physics residency in our department.

Her research focuses on developing artificial intelligence-based methods to improve radiation therapy in the realm of image guidance, deformable image registration, and dose verification.

As of yesterday, our recently graduated residents have departed to begin their new journeys. Please join us in congratulating our Medical Physics residents, Veng Jean Heng and Zhuoran Jiang, and our Radiation Therapy residents, Zachary B. White II, Daniella (Dasha) Klebaner, Abass Conteh, Iris Eke, and Wilson Mai (left to right)!

While we are sad to see them go, we are incredibly proud to see them step into their next chapters as future leaders in medicine. A fond farewell and heartfelt congratulations to our class of 2026!
