Jamie Vincent Trapp

Jamie Vincent Trapp is a Professor in the School of Clinical Sciences within the Science and Engineering Faculty at Queensland University of Technology. With over two decades of publication history from 2002 to 2024, he has established himself as a leading researcher in medical physics, particularly in radiation therapy, dosimetry, and radiation protection. His work has primarily been published in the Australasian Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (which later became Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine), indicating strong institutional ties to the Australasian medical physics community.

Trapp's research interests span medical physics, radiation therapy, radiation dosimetry, radiation protection, radiotherapy quality assurance, gel dosimetry, and Monte Carlo simulations. His publication record shows a consistent evolution from foundational work in gel dosimetry (evident in his 2003 PhD thesis "Imaging and radiation interactions of polymer gel dosimeters" at Queensland University of Technology) toward increasingly applied research in clinical settings, particularly in interventional cardiology and radiology. His recent work demonstrates a significant focus on occupational radiation protection for medical staff during fluoroscopically guided procedures.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a clear trend toward practical applications of medical physics in clinical settings, with particular emphasis on radiation dose measurement and protection in interventional cardiology procedures. Approximately 40% of his recent work focuses on occupational radiation exposure to medical staff during cardiac procedures, while the remainder addresses radiotherapy quality assurance, dosimetry techniques, and academic publishing matters. His research shows strong collaborative patterns, frequently working with Tanya Kairn, Scott Crowe, and Andrew Fielding.

Trapp has also contributed to academic discourse through editorial work, as evidenced by publications such as "Don't let Yoda or Bill and Ted write your papers" (2022) and "AI Notes: A new article type" (2021), demonstrating his engagement with scholarly communication practices in medical physics.
