Primary Axis: 
Cancer
Research Focus: 

Improvement of radiation therapy through the development and clinical implementation of accurate dosimetry techniques. The research is performed at the level of beam calibration (reference dosimetry) as well as patient-specific dose calculations using Monte Carlo methods that take into account effects of organ motion (4D Monte Carlo).Accurate reference dosimetry, water calorimetry, Monte Carlo dose calculations, photon electron radiation treatment, planning organ motion deformation, 4D energy modulated electron beam treatment, planning delivery
