Present

Saad Shaikh, Simon Jolly, Sonia Escribano, Maya Maciurzynska, Andreas Korn

Saad Shaikh

  • Reviewed notes from Sonia on QuARC paper and implemented them.
  • Met with Sarah Osman and Andreas Kyprianou from MaThRad to discuss interest in expanding Bortfeld model to describe heavy ion depth-dose relationships
    • They may be able to provide support with a PhD student to work on Geant4 simulation.
  • Will provide Sonia with live fitting and replay scripts for use with new version of web GUI.
  • Met with Ruben to discuss progress on Maya's MSci project:
    • Will reach out to Charles-Antoine to discuss way to reduce optical artefacts in DSLR images.
    • Will write a script to plot simulated Geant4 depth dose data alongside UCLH reference data to help calibrate depth and determine appropriate beam settings for simulation.
    • Sonia to investigate scoring LET in Geant4 simulation.
  • FLASH abstract accepted for oral presentation at PTCOG61!
    • Clatterbridge abstract accepted for a poster.
  • Blocked out broad structure of thesis, wrote first draft of introduction and now making a start on chapter on detector design.
