Visiting MSc Student

Member of the lab: February 2025 –

About me: Hello! I am from Indonesia, and I received the IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship in 2023. I completed my undergraduate studies at Gadjah Mada University, majoring in Nuclear Engineering. Currently, I am continuing my studies at Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), Republic of Korea under Prof. Seungryong Cho’s laboratory, Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy Laboratory (MIRLAB). I like to listen to music, and travel.

Research Interests: I am interested in research on radiotherapy. Currently, I am focusing on proton therapy, FLASH radiotherapy, and the application of gold nanoparticles (GNPs). My goal is to model the radiobiological effects of various treatments and investigate the DNA damage with TOPAS and TOPAS-nBio
