Tugce Kutuk, MD is a PGY-3 Radiation Oncology resident at The Ohio State University – The James Comprehensive Cancer Center. She earned her medical degree from Hacettepe University School of Medicine and completed her initial radiation oncology training at Ankara University in Turkey, graduating among the top in her class.
Driven by a passion for advancing cancer care on a global scale, Tugce has held clinical and research positions at leading institutions including the Miami Cancer Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Her work on integrating app-based neurocognitive assessments into stereotactic radiosurgery practice earned her the Radiosurgery Society's Members in Training Research Achievement Award. Having served on the RSS Residents Committee Executive Board over the past year, Tugce is eager to continue building on that momentum. As Vice Chair, she hopes to foster broader resident engagement, promote educational initiatives, and strengthen mentorship opportunities for trainees interested in radiosurgery.
Jayavignesh Sekar, MD is a PGY-4 Radiation Oncology resident at Northwell Health / NorthShore University Hospital- Zuckerberg Cancer Center in New York.
He earned his medical degree from The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University and completed his initial radiation oncology training at Madras Medical College in Chennai, India. Grounded in a decade of diverse clinical experience and a deep commitment to precision medicine, Jay has contributed to clinical care and research across diverse settings, from rural hospitals in India to academic centers in New York. His involvement in the Radiosurgery Society through participation in expert-led debates and presentations at oncological forums in India reflects his dedication to collaborative learning and advancing Radiation Oncology practices.
Yoonsun Jee, MD is a PGY-5 radiation oncology resident at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan.
She completed her bachelor’s degree in chemistry with concentration in Biochemistry at Wake Forest University and obtained her medical degree at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She subsequently completed her intern year at University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine in Knoxville, Tennessee. Yoonsun recently gave an oral presentation at the annual 2025 RSS Scientific Meeting on utilizing adaptive MR-guided and CT-guided SBRT for locally recurrent prostate cancer and presented a complex case on using MR-guided adaptive SBRT for recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in segment II of the liver.
As a radiation oncology resident at Maimonides Medical Center with previous training in General Surgery and Breast Surgical Oncology, Alexis has come to deeply appreciate the collaborative, multidisciplinary nature of cancer care.
His transition from the surgical suite to radiation oncology has given him a unique perspective on the intersection of local treatments. While he is continually learning and growing in his own practice, he hopes to bring this dual-specialty perspective to the committee to support our shared educational initiatives. He is passionate about how SRS/SBRT is evolving and wants to help make these complex, advancing therapies as accessible and engaging as possible for all trainees.
Caroline Oska is currently finishing her PGY-3 year of Radiation Oncology at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY.
She is passionate about resident collaboration and engagement in her field. As a Resident Executive Committee Member, she will be an advocate for other RSS residents and create a sense of teamwork and community.
Emily Smith is currently finishing her PGY-3 year of radiation oncology at Stanford.
Throughout the past two years of residency, Emily has developed a considerable interest in radiosurgery as both a clinical discipline and an active field of research. Her own research has focused on expanding the applications of stereotactic radiosurgery, including its role in the treatment of spinal arteriovenous malformations and its use for benign conditions in pediatric and young adult patients. These experiences have reinforced her belief that SRS is an extremely dynamic and impactful treatment for many malignant and benign conditions, which has fueled her desire to contribute to the broader radiosurgery community through the Radiosurgery Society.
Keyur Shah is currently a medical physics resident in the CAMPEP-accredited Medical Physics Residency Program within the Department of Radiation Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine.
He began his residency training in July 2024 and is expected to complete the program in June 2027. His clinical and research interests focus on stereotactic radiotherapy, treatment planning, image guidance, quality assurance, adaptive radiotherapy, and emerging applications of high-precision radiation therapy. His recent work includes proton-based SBRT for prostate cancer, evaluation of interfractional variation in hypofractionated treatment regimens, deformable image registration assessment, knowledge-based planning, and data-driven approaches for treatment personalization. He has also led projects evaluating proton and photon therapy for ventricular tachycardia and developing planning frameworks for stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation.
