Dr. Carlton and his team specialize in the advancement of thermal therapies, which
utilize controlled thermal energy to treat disease. Their innovative work encompasses
several areas: creating patient-specific thermal simulations for virtual treatment
planning, designing advanced temperature controllers and novel thermal therapy devices,
and fabricating tissue realistic phantoms for device verification and validation.
As of 2025, Dr. Carlton has authored 25 journal articles, secured 2 patents, presented
7 conference papers, and is a regular reviewer for several refereed journals related
to nanoparticle research, thermal therapy, and engineering. He has mentored or co-mentored
over a dozen students ranging from high school to PhD level. He is also an active
member of the Society for Thermal Medicine and The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers.
