Ning J. Yue, PhD

Division of Radiation Physics

Dr. Yue received his Ph.D. in Physics from University of Pennsylvania and his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from University of Science and Technology of China. He completed his medical physics residency and postdoctoral trainings at Thomas Jefferson University, then joined the Department of Therapeutic Radiology of Yale-New Haven Hospital as a radiological physicist and Yale University School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Yue served as the Associate Director of Medical Physics of the Cancer Center of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in his career, then joined the Department of Radiation Oncology of Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (then UMDNJ) as a Professor and Chief of Physics. He is now serving as the Chief of Physics and Executive Vice Chair of the Department. Dr. Yue is board certified in therapeutic medical physics by American Board of Radiology, and has extensive clinical experiences in radiation oncology physics, including almost all areas and treatment modalities of radiation oncology. He has conducted extensive research in many areas of radiation oncology, especially in brachytherapy and motion management. He has trained and mentored many students and established the first CAMPEP accredited medical physics residency program in the state of New Jersey. Dr. Yue is actively involved in various professional societies, including American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and American Board of Radiology.
