Home About: Radiation Dosimetry Research Group was organized by Professor
Miri Hakimabad (Leader) and Dr Rafat Motavalli (Co-leader) in 2007. Our research group
currently consists of three research assistants, and four students. In
general we are interested in computational methods for quantifying ionizing
radiation in human body. In this respect, Monte Carlo radiation transport
simulations using codes such as MCNP, MCNPX, and Geant4 are integral to our
research. Apart from computational methods, our work centered about
application of these calculations to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic
procedures in which the human body exposes to ionizing radiation such as
radiation therapy. We accomplished internal and external organ dose
calculations for various reference phantoms in different situations. Our
group has developed several computational human phantoms and performed Monte
Carlo simulations for different radiation exposure scenarios. Our current
projects involve optimizing the delivered dose to the thyroid gland in the
treatment of hyperthyroidism through modification of administered activity of
radioiodine. We simultaneously pursue our research in simulation of radiation
interactions with DNA to assess the biological consequences of radiation
exposure.
