Hey, I'm Roman 👋

I am a PhD student in the departement of physics at the University of Zurich. My research interests revolve around probabilistic modelling in medical physics (radiation oncology mostly).

📚🔍 Research fields

In our main project, we try to model the risk for metastases in the lymph system of patients with squamous cell carcinomas in the head & neck region. You can read more on that in an excellent paper by a PostDoc in our group: Pouymayou et al. You can also check out our code for the lymph model, which is a python package containing the code to learn and compute this risk of lymphatic metastases using Bayesian networks (mentioned paper) and also - this is new - hidden Markov models (Ludwig et al).

Another project deals with optimal fractionation schemes. Fractionation is the splitting of a prescribed dose of radiation designed to kill cancer cells in a tumor into multiple sessions to allow the healthy parts of the body to recover better. Innovative technologies like the MR-LinAc at our institution enable us to tackle this problem with reinforcement learning

🔭 Topics I'm interested in

• probabilistic models
• interpretable machine learning methods
• statistical learning theory

and also (though not necessarily research-related)

• 🌌 (theoretical) astrophysics (I did my master in this group)
• web development
• open source

🛠 Tools I use

Thanks a lot for reading 😃
