Our team
Dr. Rowan Thomson
University of Carleton
Dr. Rowan Thomson (ECR) leads a group at uCarleton focused on the development of computational techniques to study the interactions of radiation with matter and their application to understanding the biological response to radiation.
Her research involves investigations of radiation transport and energy deposition on cellular and subcellular levels. Her team is developing multi-scale modelling approaches that enable modelling of macroscopic volumes of interest (tumours, patients) containing microscopic regions of interest (cell populations, nanoparticles for radiation treatment).
Recent research includes demonstrating the importance of microdosimetric considerations for Raman spectroscopy studies of cellular radiation response, and investigations of gold nanoparticle radiation sensitization for cancer therapy.
