Vivek Maradia
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Therapy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI research ultra-high dose rate delivery using proton, x-ray, and electron beams for FLASH preclinical studies, aiming to understand efficacy and safety mechanisms. My work aims to transform cancer therapy and enhance patient outcomes. Leveraging insights from PSI's PROScan facility, I design a compact cyclotron-based proton therapy infrastructure for various radiation therapy setups.
