Fuad Khan, M.Sc.,
Health and Radiation Physics
L-XRF Laboratory Coordinator
Fuad developed
and characterized a functional L-band XRF system (as opposed to K-band
XRF) for measuring lead in bone. He was almost exclusively concerned with experimental studies of these two
techniques for in vivo bone lead analysis, including comparisons with
pathology samples. Although he started with us in May 1998, Fuad had
been collaborating with the group for the past three years while
operating a laboratory
at Charles Drew university in Los Angeles. He performed or supervised
measurements on over 500 human subjects during this time. While in
California, he also consulted on epidemiological studies of lead and air
pollution in California (specifically cluster analysis and time-series
modeling), worked with the Los Angeles County Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Program, and taught physics part-time at Daniel Murphy High
School.
Fuad holds a Bachelor of Engineering and
Management in Engineering Physics (1991) and Master of Science in Health
and Radiation Physics (1995), both from McMaster University. His MS
thesis work at the Hamilton Regional Cancer Centre focused on electron
dosimetry and computer simulation of low energy electron beams used for
cancer therapy. He previously worked as a nuclear engineer in
operational nuclear safety with Ontario Hydro; focusing on operational
risk and reliability monitoring, the development of probabilistic
risk-based tools for decision-making and performance monitoring, and
analysis of events related to nuclear safety and licensing. |
