Jacob Eckstein

Jacob Eckstein works in radiation oncology, studying how different radiation therapy techniques—including proton therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, and high linear energy transfer treatments—can be used to treat cancers such as breast, pancreatic, lung, and head and neck cancers. A parallel line of his work looks at the psychological and quality-of-life side of cancer treatment, including patient stress, mindfulness, social support, and burnout among radiation oncology clinicians. Prospective students would be working at the intersection of clinical radiation therapy techniques and patient/provider well-being research.

Publication output has grown substantially over the past decade, rising from near-zero output in 2017-2019 to a peak in 2025, suggesting an increasingly active research program in recent years.
