Join Olivia Masella, '16, Pre-U '17 for a discussion of her research of the development of a novel low-cost radiotherapy device to increase access in low-resource settings and the field of medical physics.
Olivia Masella, '16, Pre-U '17 is a third year PhD student at the University of Victoria in Victoria, BC. Her research is focused on developing a novel low-cost radiotherapy device to increase access in low-resource settings such as low- and middle-income countries and rural regions. She holds a BSc in physics from the University of Waterloo, where she researched a vascular spheroid growth model (in silico) and developed a chemotherapy model to simulate treatments. Olivia has been exposed to several different research areas such as Monte Carlo Modelling, radiation safety, commissioning, and deep learning techniques. She is actively engaged in the community, having recently helped organize the Canadian Undergraduate Medical Physics Conference this past summer.
