Claudiu Cojocaru

Dr. Claudiu Cojocaru is a medical physicist affiliated with the Ionizing Radiation Standards group at the National Research Council of Canada, focusing on high-precision dosimetry for electron and photon beams. His work involves experimental validation of Monte Carlo simulations and development of parametric x-ray sources using linear accelerators.

• Research Interests: Specializes in electron beam dosimetry, ionization chamber perturbation factors, and Monte Carlo code benchmarking to improve radiation therapy accuracy.
• Grants: Collaborates on NIH-funded projects (R01 CA120198) related to medical physics and radiation measurement standards.
• Publications: His 2010 Medical Physics study challenged dosimetry protocols by demonstrating energy-dependent effective points of measurement, while 2008 works addressed thin-foil scattering and angular distribution data for Monte Carlo validation.
• Labs: Works in the LINAC Laboratory, conducting experiments with a 3-40 MeV Vickers research linear accelerator.
