Biography

Simon Skouboe is a physicist from Aarhus University, Denmark, and did his Ph.D.-studies at Aarhus University Hospital with a research stay at ACRF Image X Institute, University of Sydney, Australia. He is now a postdoc at the Danish Center for Particle Therapy, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Simon Skouboe’s main research interest is calculating the actually delivered radiotherapy dose to a moving target in real-time (i.e., real-time motion-including dose reconstruction). This was successfully clinically applied for liver cancer patients treated with SBRT during his Ph.D.-studies in 2018. This study won him the ESTRO-Jack Fowler University of Wisconsin Award at ESTRO 38 in 2019. He has also worked on non-real-time dose reconstructions also accounting for dynamic rotations in addition to translational motion (six degrees of freedom in total) with commercial dose algorithms using Eclipse scripting (ESAPI). Now, as a postdoc, his work is focused on real-time motion-including dose reconstruction for protons instead of photons.
