Julie Lascaud

Dr. Julie Lascaud is a scientific staff member in the Chair of Experimental Physics and Medical Physics under Prof. Katia Parodi at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Her research focuses on advanced radiation therapy technologies, including proton CT imaging, ionoacoustic signal analysis, and radiation-induced phenomena. She leads projects such as the SIRMIO initiative for preclinical proton irradiation platforms and contributes to the FLUKA simulation code development. Her work bridges computational physics, biomedical engineering, and radiation oncology with applications in clinical proton therapy verification, nano-bubble dynamics, and contrast agent-enhanced imaging.

• Key Projects: SIRMIO (Small Animal Proton Irradiation Platform), FLUKA Code Development
• Technical Expertise: Ionoacoustic detection systems, 3D-printed phantoms, molecular dynamics simulations

Her research emphasizes translating physics innovations into clinical solutions, particularly in improving proton beam range verification and understanding ultra-high dose rate effects. Current studies explore thermoacoustic emissions in FLASH radiotherapy and the biological implications of radiation-induced acoustic phenomena.
