Dwork Lab
Nicholas Dwork, PhD
Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Informatics
Dr. Nicholas Dwork received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2019 under the tutelage of John Pauly. He then completed a three year post-doc at UCSF in 2022 under Peder Larson.
He is now an assistant professor at CU Anschutz where he founded a lab focused on medical imaging and radiation therapy. With his work, Dr. Dwork has devised methods to formulate medical problems as optimization problems that can then be solved with efficient algorithms.
Who We Are
The Dwork laboratory at CU Anschutz focuses on small data exploitation for computational imaging and radiation oncology. Applications include medical image reconstruction, image quantitation, radiation treatment planning, and inexpensive medical devices. The aim of our work is to increase speed and robustness for timely, reliable, clinically applicable results. The speed is increased by constraining the solution with known physics, thorough algorithm development, and effective use of the computer architecture. Robustness is achieved with theoretical guarantees and empirical confirmation.
