Connor was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania. His journey into Medical Physics began at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. During his undergraduate years, Connor's interest in medical physics grew as he contributed to the construction and analysis of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer that used Earth’s magnetic field. This experience introduced him to the principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
He furthered his education by obtaining a Master of Science degree in Medical Physics from Brown University. His master's thesis validated a data-driven algorithm designed to detect atypical radiotherapy prescriptions. Throughout his graduate studies, Connor gained clinical experience by working as a quality assurance technician in the Radiation Oncology department at Rhode Island Hospital.
In 2023, Connor joined the RIH/Brown residency program and is looking forward to the journey ahead. In his spare time, he enjoys exploring local state parks and the coastline with his friends.
Jenny is a New England native from western Connecticut. Jenny launched her healthcare career in high school when she became a certified nursing assistant. Through her experiences working in acute care, Jenny discovered her passion for oncology. With a desire to combine her aptitude for STEM with her compassionate nature, she chose to pursue a career in Medical Physics. Jenny attended the University of Rhode Island, from which she earned her B.S. in Physics along with her M.S. in Medical Physics. She continued her graduate education at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, having earned her Ph.D. While at Dalhousie, Jenny modified a commercial 2.5 MV imaging beamline on a TrueBeam to implement a novel sintered diamond target. Her doctoral thesis examined the use of this beam in both imaging and treatment applications for improved image quality and dose fall-off, respectively.
Outside of work, Jenny enjoys cooking/baking, spending time with friends and family, going sailing and visiting Prudence Island.
