David A. Hormuth, II received his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University. At Vanderbilt he was a trainee in the Vanderbilt Institute of Imaging Science where he received training in cancer imaging research and mathematical model of tumor growth and response. He joined the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences as a Postdoctoral Fellow and is currently a Research Associate in the Center for Computational Oncology at the Oden Institute where he is developing a framework for tumor growth and response prediction that leverages high-performance computing resources. His current research interests include the development of data-driven predictive models of tumor growth and response to therapy, personalization of mathematical models to patient data, optimization of radiotherapy regimens, and optimization of computational frameworks on high-performance computing environments.
