Magdalena Bazalova-Carter, PhD
MAGDALENA BAZALOVA-CARTER is an Associate Professor and Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Medical Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. She received her PhD degree at McGill University and postdoctoral training at Stanford University. She now works with outstanding students and postdocs in the X-ray Cancer Imaging and Therapy Experimental (XCITE) lab and her current research interests include Monte Carlo simulations and experiments of x-ray fluorescence and photon-counting CT imaging, small animal radiotherapy and FLASH and spatially-fractionated radiotherapy. She is the recipient of the 2018 John S. Laughlin Young Scientist Award awarded by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. Dr. Bazalova-Carter is also a Deputy Editor of Medical Physics.
Yannick Poirier, PhD
YANNICK POIRIER is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He received his PhD from the University of Canada and his residency from CancerCare Manitoba. As the previous Director of Preclinical Physics in the Division of Translational Radiation Sciences for five years, he has extensive experience designing and executing radiation therapy protocols in translational research in small and large animal models alike. He now applies this expertise to direct, design, and execute translational experiments in the newly developed FLASH-RT research program of the University of Maryland.
