Björn Morén

Björn Morén is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Linköping University, Sweden. He is affiliated with the Division of Applied Mathematics (TIMA), where his research focuses on mathematical optimization applied to brachytherapy treatment planning in radiation oncology. His work aims to improve cancer treatment outcomes through advanced computational models that enhance precision and robustness in radiotherapy.

Research Interests: His primary research lies at the intersection of applied mathematics and medical physics. He specializes in developing and analyzing mathematical optimization models for high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, particularly for prostate and cervical cancers. His work addresses critical challenges such as rotational and positional uncertainties, dwell time optimization, and automated plan validation. He seeks to bridge the gap between manual clinical planning and algorithm-driven optimization to improve dosimetric outcomes and reduce complications.

Publication Trends: His recent publications (2021–2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on robust optimization techniques in brachytherapy. Themes include uncertainty mitigation, dosimetric evaluation, inverse planning, and automation in treatment workflows. His interdisciplinary work combines operations research, medical imaging, and clinical oncology, reflecting strong collaboration across physics and medicine.
