Download Curriculum Vitae

Andrew Godley, Ph.D., Associate Vice Chair of Clinical Physics Operations and Quality in the Department of Radiation Oncology, received his Ph.D. from the University of Sydney in High Energy Physics as a member of the NOMAD experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. He then undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of South Carolina, conducting research in the MINOS experiment at FermiLab in Chicago. Dr. Godley then switched to medical physics, completing training at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Godley joined the medical physics staff in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Cleveland Clinic where he covered brachytherapy, SBRT, and Gamma Knife, as well as machine QA and commissioning. Dr. Godley moved to the Miami Cancer Institute to work on the new MR-linac, where he helped to develop the program, before joining the faculty at UT Southwestern as Director of Clinical Physics.
