Keying Xu, PhD

Division of Radiation Physics

Dr. Keying Xu received her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering at Capital Medical University in China. She then came to the United States and studied at University of Miami in Florida where she was awarded a master’s degree in biomedical engineering for her work in medical image, and later a Ph.D. degree in medical physics for her research in multi-modality image guided small animal irradiation system. Upon completion of the CAMPEP accredited graduate program, she matched to the medical physics residency program at University Hospitals-Case Western Reserve University in Ohio where she received training for state-of-the-art techniques including volumetric modulated arc therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, brachytherapy, proton therapy, GammaKnife radiosurgery, intraoperative radiation therapy, total body irradiation, total skin electron therapy, etc. In 2020, Dr. Xu finished her residency training and joined Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey as a clinical faculty. She primarily provides physics support for the Radiation Oncology department at University Hospital in Newark, she also provides services at Clara Maass Medical Center and Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. Besides clinical works, Dr. Xu also teaches in the medical physics residency program at Rutgers.
