Daniel is a medical physicist with a keen interest in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine imaging. He has a strong working knowledge of radiation safety compliance program to ensure public safety.

Daniel completed his Masters research on Monte Carlo simulation to Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) weighted dose for 50 kV therapy.

Sypnosis – RBE of low energy x-rays have been found to have a higher RBE than x-rays in the megavoltage range. The research project investigated the relative biological effectiveness of a 50 kVp beam used for superficial and intraoperative therapy. It was found by a combination of physical measurements and Monte Carlo simulations that the 50 kVp beam produced has an RBE greater than unity relative to a Co-60 beam.
