Maria Perez-Lara

Maria Perez-Lara is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Warwick and a key member of the MaThRad project, focusing on radiation physics applications in medicine through Monte Carlo simulations and advanced radiotherapy techniques.

Her academic background includes:

• B.Sc. in Physics from Universidad de Los Andes (Bogota, Colombia), 2019
• M.Sc. in Physics and Engineering in Medicine from University College London (London, UK), 2020
• Ph.D. in Radiation Physics from University College London (London, UK), 2025

Her research centers on optimizing radiation delivery systems, with emphasis on proton and neutron therapies for cancer treatment. She pioneers detector technologies for precise radiation dosimetry and imaging, bridging theoretical physics with clinical applications to enhance treatment safety and efficacy.

Recent publications reveal a strong trajectory in medical detector development, particularly for proton therapy monitoring and low-dose mammography. Her work consistently addresses critical challenges in radiation measurement accuracy and image quality optimization within clinical settings.
