I am pursuing PhD in Medical Radiation Physics at Stockholm University while also working as an Industrial Doctoral student at RaySearch Laboratories AB in Sweden. I have a Master’s degree in Physics and a Diploma in Radiological Physics. I worked as a Medical Physicist in Proton Therapy Centres in India before starting my PhD.
I will be working on the project titled “Robust optimization considering uncertainties in the frame of proton adaptive radiation therapy.” The project aims to analyse and develop methods to mitigate the uncertainties affecting proton adaptive radiation therapy, particularly to investigate robust and probabilistic optimization and evaluation strategies for treatment planning. Using the newly developed methodologies in practical scenarios, I expect to improve the cost-to-benefit ratio of proton therapy treatment.
SINFONIA project will develop novel methodologies and tools that will provide a comprehensive risk appraisal for detrimental effects of radiation exposure on patients, workers, carers and comforters, the public and the environment during the management of patients suspected or diagnosed with lymphoma and brain tumours.
