I am a PhD candidate in Medical Physics at Adelaide University, with research focused on the development and evaluation of proton arc therapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. My work investigates advanced particle therapy techniques, including proton arc therapy, LET optimisation, NTCP modelling, and Monte Carlo simulation, with the aim of improving tumour control while reducing radiation-induced toxicities. I am currently undertaking research in collaboration with the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research, exploring the feasibility, dosimetric performance, and biological implications of rotational proton therapy techniques.
Researching advanced proton therapy techniques for pancreatic cancer, with a focus on proton arc therapy. Conducting treatment planning, dosimetric evaluation, and radiobiological analysis to investigate approaches for improving tumour targeting, enhancing normal tissue sparing, and enabling safe dose escalation. Research aims to support the development of more effective radiotherapy strategies and improve clinical outcomes in pancreatic cancer.
