Jack Neylon, PhD, DABR

Dr. Neylon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA, and also serves as the Director of the Therapeutic Medical Physics Residency Program. Dr. Neylon received his PhD in Biomedical Physics from UCLA in 2016, on the topic of adaptive radiotherapy utilizing general purpose parallel programming and biomechanical modeling to accelerate and automate processes. He continued at UCLA for his medical physics clinical residency, graduating in 2018. In 2020, Dr. Neylon re-joined UCLA as a faculty member, and has since made significant contributions in research, teaching, and clinical development. Dr. Neylon is certified in therapeutic medical physics by the American Board of Radiology. He has continued interest in the development of biomechancial models for inter- and intra-fractional motion tracking and deformable image registration. His clinical research interests include process automation and standardization, and improving clinical data accessibility and interpretability through development of custom software solutions. He has authored over 35 journal articles, been co-investigator on multiple grants, was awarded a US Patent, and had his research software licensed for commercial development.

In addition, Dr. Neylon serves on the Subcommittee for Oversight of the MedPhys Match (SCOMM) within AAPM, and is a member of ASTRO. He also holds a faculty appointment in the CAMPEP-accredited Physics and Biology in Medicine (PBM) Graduate Program at UCLA, serving on doctoral committees for several past and current graduate students. Lastly, he is a primary instructor or contributing lecturer for multiple graduate classes, including Image-Guided Radiotherapy, Advanced Treatment Planning, and Physics of Radiation Therapy.
