My research ambitions are to further improve the knowledge in the field of Medical Radiation Physics and Radiobiology. My goal is to improve on current clinical practice in radiotherapy, to achieve a more efficient patient treatment and with less adverse effect for the patients. With that goal in mind, the last eight years I have focused my research on FLASH radiation, i.e. radiation delivered at ultra-high dose rates. Currently, I am heading one of the most prominent teams in this field of radiation research, at the University of Oxford.

 FLASH radiation is a novel radiotherapy technique that show great potential in improving cancer treatment. However, very little is known about the biological mechanisms behind the highly beneficial FLASH effect. My research team aims to identify these mechanisms, explain the effect, and to find the optimal way of implementing the technique in clinical practice.
