Suryakant Kaushik

I am pursuing PhD from the Medical Radiation Physics division of Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University, while also working as an Industrial Doctoral student at RaySearch Laboratories AB in Sweden. I hold a Master’s degree in Physics and a Diploma in Radiological Physics, and I worked as a Medical Physicist at proton therapy centers in India prior to beginning my PhD.

I will be working on the project entitled “Robust optimization considering uncertainties in the frame of proton adaptive radiation therapy.” The goal of this work is to study and develop approaches to mitigate the uncertainties affecting proton adaptive radiation therapy, with a particular focus on exploring robust and probabilistic optimization and assessment techniques for treatment planning. By applying the newly developed methodologies in real-world settings, I anticipate enhancing the cost–benefit ratio of proton therapy treatments.
