Anatoly Rozenfeld

Anatoly Rozenfeld is a Distinguished Professor and Director of the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (CMRP) at the University of Wollongong (UOW), School of Physics. He leads research in semiconductor radiation detectors, micro-dosimetry, and advanced radiation therapies. His work spans applications in cancer treatment, space medicine, and radiation protection. He holds editorial roles in journals like Medical Physics and chairs international conferences such as SSD 16 and IEEE NSS/MIC.

Education:

• PhD in Physics, Kiev Institute for Nuclear Research (1991)
• MSc (Distinction) in Semiconductor Physics, Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (1974)

Research Interests: Focuses on medical radiation physics innovations, including proton therapy, heavy-ion therapy, and space radiation monitoring. His lab develops novel detectors like 'MagicPlates' for high-resolution dosimetry and explores 3D bioprinting for tumor models in radiation studies. He also investigates shielding strategies for deep-space missions.

Grants & Awards:

• $17M+ in competitive grants, including NHMRC and ARC funding
• 2022 NSW Premier’s Outstanding Cancer Researcher Award
• IEEE NPSS Glenn F. Knoll Award for Radiation Instrumentation (2023)

Advisory Roles: Member of ICRU Micro-dosimetry Committee, Australian Space Agency’s Space Medicine Committee, and the Australian National Hadron Therapy Steering Committee.

Lab/Teams: Leads CMRP, a globally recognized center with CAMPEP accreditation and ERA ‘above world standard’ ratings (2015, 2018).
