Prof. Santhanam (Assistant Professor, Dept. of Radiation Oncology, University of California Los Angeles) is a Founder, Director and an Advisior for Segana. Dr. Santhanam has worked on the biomechanical modeling of lungs since 2002 for different applications ranging from computer animation, virtual reality, rehabilitation, tissue engineering to
radiation oncology. His PhD dissertation was focused on developing High Performance Computing based algorithms for physics and physiology based 3D lung dynamics using state of-the-art Graphics Processing Units (GPU). He was Principal Investigator for the James and Ester King 2008-10 Team Science Project grant for $1 Million in collaboration with the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando, which focused on incorporating 3D biomechanical lung dynamic models for assisting in the treatment efficacy of lung radiotherapy. His research focus is on developing algorithms for 3D/4D image processing, model based lung registration, lung anatomy deformation modeling, lung deformation based elasticity estimation, tumor dosimetry and lung deformation based radiotherapy evaluation. He has published several journal papers in the field of biomechanical organ modeling.
