Who we are
|
The Working Group on Radiation Transport and Effects of the University of Sevilla started its activities in 2007, when its first works in developments and applications of Geant4 toolkit for the MonteCarlo simulation of radiation transport through matter took place. Its members are:
Dr. María Isabel Gallardo Fuentes is Full Professor of the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics of the University of Seville. She carried out PhD studies at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhaguen between the years 1983 and 1985, in which period she specialized in Nuclear Structure. She has fostered and coordinated the Master in Medical Physics of the University of Sevilla.She coordinates the project RADIA for the development of a verification system of treatments in radiotherapy.
Dr. José Manuel Quesada Molina is Full Professor of the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics of the University of Seville. He carried out PhD studies at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhaguen between the years 1983 and 1985, in which period he specialized in Heavy Ion Nuclear Reactions. He is Team Leader of the Group of the University of Seville participating in the n_TOF Collaboration @ CERN. He is member of the Geant4 Collaboration, where his activity inside the Hadronic Working Group has focused in the development of native pre-equlibrium and de-excitation nuclear models.
COLLABORATORS
Dr. Dieter Schardt is a internationationally renowned scientist in the field of Biophysics research for Heavy Ion Therapy. He was the in charge of the design, commissioning and operation of the beam line for radiotherapy treatments with 12C beams at GSI (Darmstadt, Germany), which treated patients in the period 1997-2008. This facility (still operating for research purposes), was the predecessor of the HIT (Heavy Ion Therapy Center, Darmstadt, Germany), which belongs to the DKFZ (German Cancer Research Center), operating since October 2009 and pioneering in Europe the hadrontherapy as a rutinary hospital practice. Dr. Schardt is associate researcher to the project FPA2011-28770-C03-02

Dr. Miguel Antonio Cortés Giraldo
Dr. Fco Rogelio Palomo Pinto is Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering at Sevilla University's School of Engineering. He concluded his degree in Fundamental Physics at the University of Sevilla during the 1992 academic year. From 1999 to 2013 he worked as researcher in electronics and photonics in several engineering projects with external companies. His PhD (2008-2012) work focused in Radiation Effects in Microelectronics, specifically for Single Event Effects. Nowadays he teaches Avionics in the Aeronautical Engineering Degree and Electronic Instrumentation and Microelectronics in the Telecommunications Engineering Degree at the Sevilla School of Engineering.
