Yin Zhang, PhD

Division of Radiation Physics

Dr. Yin Zhang earned his PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2013. He completed a residency in Medical Physics at the Johns Hopkins University from 2013 to 2015. His PhD training was focus on preclinical molecular imaging and during his residency, he worked on a few different clinical projects, including ultrasound-guided radiation therapy, motion management in stereotactic radiation therapy, etc. He joined Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in 2017. He is currently providing clinical physics services to different clinical sites, including Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at New Brunswick, University Hospital at Newark, Jersey City Medical Center at Jersey City, and Clara Maass Medical Center at Belleville. Additionally, he is leading the physics services of radiation oncology in the northern region. Dr. Yin Zhang’s research interest is in general radiation oncology. Dr. Yin Zhang enjoys outdoor activities, traveling, and playing tennis.
