Tomasz Cybulski
Tomasz studied medical physics and dosimetry at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland. His Master’s thesis dealt with TL dosimetry for mixed fields of ionizing radiation of photons and charged particles. His experimental work was conducted at both The Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow, Poland and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia. He investigated the properties of thermo-luminescent detectors, part of the international MATROSHKA project on the International Space Station. The irradiation with heavy ion beams was conducted at JINR.
After graduating in 2006 he started his work in the industry sector with Synektik Sp. z o.o., Warszawa, Poland where he worked as a dosimetrist in the quality assurance of X-ray diagnostic medical devices. He was also responsible for the development of measurement methods and procedures.
Tomasz joined the Quasar Group and DITANET on the 1st of June 2010 based at the Cockcroft Institute, Daresbury, UK. He is developing beam monitoring detectors for the Clatterbridge Center for Oncology working with hadron therapy for eye tumors. His research is also incorporating numerical studies of the beam line and design of beam detectors for intensity measurements and exact position of the beam. He will also investigate the propagation and biological effect on patients undergoing the treatment.
