Abe Oraiqat, PhD

Dr. Ibrahim Oraiqat is an Assistant Member in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center. Dr. Oraiqat received his PhD in Applied Physics, followed by a Medical Physics Postdoctoral fellowship in Radiation Oncology, from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He most recently completed a Medical Physics Residency in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center. Dr. Oraiqat’s clinical interest is in therapeutic medical physics with a focus on proton therapy, adaptive radiotherapy, and high does rate (HDR) brachy-therapy. His research focus is the development and clinical translation of FLASH radiotherapy, novel dosimetry tools/methods, and novel imaging modalities for biological guidance in radiotherapy.
