Biography

Dr. Mayo has over 27 years’ experience in clinical medical physics and translational research, particularly in the areas of advanced treatment planning techniques with IMRT/VMAT and in the study of normal tissue tolerances as part of the QUANTEC effort. His current interests are in the areas of health care informatics (infrastructure, standardizations, and analysis), application of statistical methods in treatment and outcomes modeling, and automation of advanced treatment planning methods. This includes enabling routine, the use of retrospective statistical models developed from prior treatment experience for all patients treated in a practice to inform decisions for subsequent patients, and extending these approaches to investigate multi-institutional experience to guide health care policy.

Areas of Interest

  • Development of analytics metrics and visualizations distilled from big data resources to improve practice and outcomes.
  • Construction and of big data resource systems enabling aggregation of key data elements as part of routine practice.
  • Use of analytics to improve quality of healthcare and to guide health care policy.

Clinical Interests

  • Advanced treatment planning methods with VMAT/IMRT
  • Development of dose response models
  • Creation and use of spatial dose objects to improve treatment planning and evaluation
