Katia Parodi

Prof. Katia Parodi is a faculty member at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU Munich) in the Faculty for Physics, leading the Chair of Experimental Physics – Medical Physics established in August 2012. Her research focuses on pre-clinical and clinical image-guided radiotherapy, advancing instrumentation for radiation interaction studies in tumor and normal tissues using beam modalities ranging from photons and hadrons to laser-based systems. She spearheads the ERC-funded project SIRMIO and collaborates with institutions like the Center for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA) and international Ion Beam Therapy Facilities.

• Key areas: radiation interaction, therapeutic strategies, ion radiography, ionoacoustics, prompt gamma tomography, MRI, and spectral CT.
• Developed a precision image-guided radiation research platform under the SIRMIO project.
• Network includes LMU University Hospital and other national/international collaborators.
