From big questions to bold ideas, our students’ thesis research keeps raising the bar! ⚡️

MSMP second year students delivered their thesis proposal presentations to the Radiation Oncology Physics Division! Day 1 presentations included topics on SFRT planning and dose-reporting methods, novel treatment planning software, proton arc therapy planning, impact of proton planning uncertainties, and a machine-specific delivery sequence model for proton arc therapy. Day 2 presentations included topics on FLASH radiation therapy, mapping treatment planning system dose calculation errors, deep learning guided modeling, AI based dose prediction, development of a SFRT platform for small animal irradiation, and a comparative dosimetric analysis for proton therapy.

We look forward to seeing these promising research endeavors progress in the months ahead! ✨🔬💻☢️

That’s a wrap on our Physics Division Speed Networking Event and mentor meet and greet!
We had the absolute best time kicking off the Fall semester by welcoming our new Medical Physics Graduate Programs’ students and catching up with our returning faces.A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by Smilow Commons to grab some breakfast, fuel up on coffee, and connect. The energy and conversations were the perfect way to start the new term strong!

Meet Danujan, a second-year master’s student in the Penn MPGP! Danujan is from Boston, Massachusetts, and earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Dartmouth College. After completing his master’s degree at Penn, he plans to pursue a radiation therapy physics residency with the goal of becoming a clinical medical physicist.

Danujan’s thesis focuses on establishing a robustness framework for defining clinically acceptable tolerances for proton spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT), with the goal of supporting its potential translation into clinical treatment. 

At Penn, Danujan works as a PSQA assistant, chart rounds assistant, and a teaching assistant for the first-year course Introduction to Radiation Protection. Outside of medical physics, Danujan enjoys traveling and playing tennis competitively for UPenn’s Club Tennis team.
