HENRY SHUI-HENG, TSANG Moving away from binary definition of PTVs: a novel probabilistic approach to PTV definition, London, UK

Henry Tsang is currently working towards his PhD at the Institute of Cancer Research, London, under the supervision of Prof Uwe Oelfke. Entitled “Optimisation of radiotherapy in the presence of uncertainty”, his primary research focus is in probabilistic treatment planning. Currently, he is investigating the trade-off between target coverage and the dose delivered to nearby organs at risk. Prior to medical physics, Henry completed his BSc in physics at Imperial College London, graduating with first-class honours in 2013. For his bachelor thesis, Henry was builtding models of proton precipitation in the Jovian atmosphere, in preparation for data Juno will collect later this year. Henry’s interest has not always been in medical physics. Back in secondary school, Henry he had a keen interest in nuclear physics. It was not until his first year at university, when Henry attended a seminar on hadron therapy, that he became captivated by the application of physics to medicine. He is still in the early stages of his career and is currently discovering the realm of medical physics with great enthusiasm. Outside of academia, Henry enjoys recreational badminton and travelling. He is also a proficient classical pianist, having completed his associate diploma in piano recital in 2007.
