Biography

Viktor Iakovenko, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology’s Division of Medical Physics & Engineering.

Dr. Iakovenko received his B.Sc. in physics and his M.Sc. in nuclear and particle physics at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine. He subsequently received his Ph.D. in particle physics at Paris-Sud University in Orsay, France. Dr. Iakovenko went on to complete his postdoctoral fellowship at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre within the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada.

Prior to joining UT Southwestern, Dr. Iakovenko completed a radiation oncology physics residency within the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Toronto in Canada, and went on to work as a medical physicist there.

His research interests include MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy, development of novel detector systems for radiation therapy, dosimetry for emerging treatment modalities, and stereotactic radiotherapy.
