Abstract

As physicists, we research how to characterize changes in patterns across time and space. In medical physics, we devise new Monte Carlo algorithms to achieve more accurate absorbed dose distributions in realistic patient models: how can we characterize differences in 3D spatial distributions of dose compared with traditional evaluations? On shorter length scales, simulations of radiation interactions in detailed microscopic tissue models enable new evaluations of 3D microdosimetric distributions: how can we characterize these spatial patterns of energy deposition and connect with cellular response to radiation? Across science, there are efforts to address the challenges of equity, diversity, and inclusion: how do we assess changes with time? This colloquium will focus on research to quantify changes in – sometimes disparate – patterns in time and space.

Timbits, coffee, tea will be served in STI A before the colloquium.
