Antony John Lomax

Antony John Lomax serves as Professor at ETH Zurich's Department of Physics, based at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) Center for Proton Therapy (Zentrum für Protonentherapie) in Villigen, Switzerland. His institutional affiliation combines ETH Zurich's academic framework with PSI's research infrastructure in nuclear and particle physics.

His research centers on Medical Physics applications, specializing in Proton Therapy development for precision cancer treatment. This focus bridges fundamental physics with clinical oncology, particularly through radiation dose optimization and particle beam delivery systems. His teaching includes the course "Applications of Physics in Medicine - An Introduction to Medical Physics" (402-0347-00L) scheduled for Autumn Semester 2025.

At PSI's Proton Therapy Center—operational since 1984 and treating over 7,000 patients—Lomax contributes to advancing particle therapy techniques. The facility integrates cyclotron technology with gantry-based beam delivery systems for deep-seated tumor targeting, representing Switzerland's primary center for this specialized radiation oncology modality.
