Giorgia Meschini, researcher at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, won the Christoph Schmelzer Award for her doctoral thesis in the field of tumor therapy with ion beams “Respiratory motion modelling in particle therapy.”

The work’s aim is to find solutions to variable and irregular respiratory movement, which causes uncertainties in the treatment of thoracic-abdominal tumours in Hadrontherapy. Different respiratory motion modeling approaches were investigated in the thesis and proposed as tools for both the geometrical quantification of respiratory motion and the evaluation of related dose variations, aiming at granting treatment quality in presence of regular and irregular breathing motion.

The award is conferred by the Association for the Promotion of Tumour Therapy with Heavy Ions e.V, which is closely linked to the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH research centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
