Dosimetry and Biomedical Modeling Team

Back to list BaDAP profile
Description
Research activities carried out in the DBM Team include: (1) the application of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in biomedicine, in particular the optimization of radiological exposure assessment of personnel and patients in medical therapy and diagnosis; (2) use of thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence phenomena in dosimetry of ionizing radiation and in characterization of new materials; (3) mathematical modeling of selected physiological processes; (4) experimental and theoretical studies (Monte Carlo methods) in photodynamic therapy of cancer and development of models of light, oxygen and photosensitizer transport at the cellular and tissue levels.

IDUB research areas

  • New technologies for the circular economy: merging business models with ecoinnovations to improve productivity and minimise waste, as well as to create knowledge and use it
  • Technical solutions: from fundamental research, through modelling and design, to prototypes. The application of mathematical, information technology, and electronics tools to macro-, micro-, and nanoscale problems
  • Materials, technologies, and processes inspired by nature: biotechnology, bioinspirations in engineering and materials science, biosensors, bioenergetics, biocatalysis, biocomputers, and biocomputation
  • Design, production, and testing of modern materials and the technologies of the future based on a multidisciplinary approach combining materials engineering with chemistry, physics, mathematics, and medicine
  • Crossing boundaries: experimental high energy physics, extreme states of matter, advanced radiation detection technologies, transdisciplinary research and applications
