ABOUT ME Born and raised in Slovakia Studied: BEng in Mechanical Enginnering at UOIT, Canada MASc in Nuclear Engineering (Radiation science) at UOIT

RESEARCH PROJECT Work at AIT, Health & Environment department, Biomedical Systems Enrolled at the Medical University of Vienna, PhD in Medical Physics Development of a heterogeneous, breathing thorax phantom with moveable tumor for treatment planning system verification

PROJECT BACKGROUND Objective: Measure dose to moving lung tumor (online and offline) in order to validate treatment planning system The tumor in not moving alone in human body

PROJECT BACKGROUND Current state of the art radiation therapy phantoms Limitations Only tumor motionChest wall motion but only 1D tumor motion Metal components CIRS - Dynamic Thorax Phantom RSD - Dynamic Anatomical Respiring Humanoid Phantom

RECENT WORK Proposal submitted on 3 rd of June for FFG Bridge project Industrial partner: Elimpex (Austrian medical supplies retail and research company) University partner: Medical University of Vienna (Part of the Vienna General Hospital)
