معرفی
P.G. (Peter) Dendooven is an Associate Professor at the Particle Therapy Research Center (PARTREC) within the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Groningen. He holds an 80% appointment there and concurrently serves as a 20% Visiting Professor at the Helsinki Institute of Physics, University of Helsinki. His work bridges nuclear physics and medical applications, focusing on advanced imaging techniques for radiation therapy verification and nuclear safety.
Education includes a Ph.D. in Physics (1992, KU Leuven), postdoctoral research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and roles as Senior Researcher in Finland. He has pioneered projects like the cryogenic stopping cell for radioactive ions and real-time proton therapy verification systems.
Research interests span proton therapy validation via PET imaging, nuclear fuel analysis using position-sensitive detectors, and radiation safety technologies. Notable projects include the EUREKA success story Time-of-Flight PET with SiPM sensors and contributions to the Super-FRS cryogenic stopping cell at FAIR.
Teaching includes Medical Imaging Instrumentation, Advanced Instrumentation and Extreme Environments, and Medical Physics courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He has supervised multiple experimental setups and coordinated courses since 2012.
Labs/Teams: PARTREC, Helsinki Institute of Physics radiation safety group, and collaborations with CERN and FAIR facilities.
