 Dr Tim Solberg
Timothy Solberg received his master of science degree in
physics from the University of California, Davis, and his PhD in
biomedical physics from the University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA).
His areas of specialization include radiation therapy
physics, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation
therapy (SBRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), optimization and
intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and radiation transport methods. He
was named a fellow of the American College of Medical Physics (ACMP) in
2005, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) in 2006,
and the American College of Radiology (ACR) in 2013. Dr. Solberg is a
licensed medical physicist and is certified in therapeutic radiological
physics by the American Board of Radiology.
Dr. Solberg received his initial faculty appointment in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA in 1996, and went on to hold the positions of professor, vice chair, and co-director of the Radiosurgery Program at UCLA. He was Director of Medical Physics and Barbara Crittenden Professor of Cancer Research in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas from 2008-2013, and Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Radiation Oncology at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia from 2013-2016.
Dr. Solberg is currently a Professor, Vice Chair and Director of Medical Physics in the Department of Radiation Oncology at University of California, San Francisco. He is actively involved in numerous professional societies, including the AAPM, ACR, American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO), European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO), and others. He is deputy editor-in-chief for the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, and reviews manuscripts for many other journals. He has authored over 180 papers, over 350 abstracts, 28 book chapters, 1 book (on stereotactic radiosurgery and SBRT), and given over 270 invited presentations. Dr. Solberg was named an American Cancer Society Research Scholar in 2003.
