1. Studies of clinical proton dosimetry using Monte Carlo simulation and experimental techniques
Abstract : The present work aims at improving clinical proton dosimetry based on ionization chambers, and to bring its state of development closer to the corresponding status of conventional photon and electron dosimetry. In order to accomplish this, both theoretical and experimental methods have been used. READ MORE

2. Monte Carlo Simulations of the Equilibrium Properties of Semi-stiff Polymer Chains : Efficient Sampling from Compact to Extended Structures
Abstract : Polymers is a class of molecules which can have many different structures due to a large number of degrees of freedom. Many biopolymers, e.g. DNA, but also synthetic macromolecules have special structural features due to their backbone stiffness. READ MORE

3. Development of Experimental Brachytherapy Dosimetry Using Monte Carlo Simulations for Detector Characterization
Abstract : Brachytherapy (BT) is a type of interventional radiotherapy that is advantageous due to high absorbed dose conformity and possibility to deliver high dose in few fractions. It is often used for prostate and gynecological tumors as monotherapy or a boost alongside external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). READ MORE

4. Development of Monte Carlo track structure simulations for protons and carbon ions in water
Abstract : The goal of radiation therapy is to eradicate tumour cells while minimising radiation dose to healthy tissues. Ions including protons and carbon ions have gained increasing interest for cancer treatment. READ MORE

5. Structure Modeling with X-ray Absorption and Reverse Monte Carlo: Applications to Water
Abstract : Water is an important substance. It is part of us, of our environment, and is a fundamental prerequisite for the existence of life as we know it. The structure of water is still, after over 100 years of research on the subject, however under debate. READ MORE
