Experience & Education

Research Intern — IAEA Dosimetry Laboratory, Vienna

Division of Human Health · Sep 2025 – Present

Worked on radiotherapy dosimetry, postal dose-audit workflows, quality assurance, and audit-data analysis within the IAEA Dosimetry Laboratory.

Selected work & learning

• Developed Python-based independent dose-verification software for RPLD/OSLD postal dosimetry audits.
• Contributed to QUATRO audit-data analysis and quality-indicator development for radiotherapy centres.
• Gained hands-on exposure to dosimetry-lab workflows: ionization chamber calibration, reference dosimetry, irradiation procedures, and audit-result evaluation.
• Hands-on training in Co-60, HDR Ir-192, LINAC photon/electron, and orthovoltage X-ray dosimetry.

Conducted MSc research at the intersection of medical physics, oncology, and machine learning, focusing on AI-based prostate cancer prognosis.

Selected work

• Developed and evaluated patient-similarity graph neural networks for multi-outcome prostate cancer survival prediction.
• Benchmarked GNNs against classical survival models (Cox proportional hazards, Random Survival Forest).
• Built leakage-free graphs with nested cross-validation, and added SHAP-based explainability.
• Prepared a first-author manuscript based on the thesis research.
