Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Torbjörn Näsmark. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Torbjörn Näsmark is a PhD student specializing in medical physics with a focus on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) methods for tissue characterization and preparation for proton therapy treatment planning. He works in radiation protection and aims to leverage DECT techniques to enhance the precision of proton therapy, particularly for pediatric patients. His research investigates methods to predict proton stopping power ratios (SPR) using DECT data, which is critical for improving treatment outcomes. Through the use of formalism such as that developed by Jackson and Hawkes, he applies virtual mono-energetic imaging to estimate SPRs effectively. Torbjörn holds lectures on topics including Dual-Energy CT and Photon Counting CT, contributing to the educational landscape in the field of medical physics.
