Anna Vella
Postdoctoral Researcher - Physics
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher (Physics) with the Radiation Therapy Medical Physics Group, led by Prof. Frank Van Den Heuvel, at the University of Oxford's Department of Oncology. My current research is focused on assessing proton/particle beam range and I developing a medical imaging device for proton/particle induced prompt-gamma imaging for in-vivo range verification.
