Biography

Louis Archambault is a physics professor specializing in medical physics. His research focuses on improving cancer treatments, particularly radiation therapy, through the development of new tools and the application of data science in medical imaging. He has a keen interest in precise mapping of radiation doses used in radiation therapy and predicting treatment outcomes for cancer patients. His laboratory, named "Clairvoyance," reflects his ambition to visualize radiation doses and predict the evolution of treatments. He is a recognized expert in optical dosimetry, having developed new instruments such as multipoint dosimeters that allow for rapid and accurate measurement of radiation doses in radiation therapy, crucial given the increasing complexity of these treatments. His work also involves the use of data science and artificial intelligence to integrate information from medical imaging (CT scans, PET, MRI) into clinical support systems for oncology teams. Notably, his research has led to the creation of a deep learning system that predicts the evolution of prostate cancer.
