Simon Skouboe Department of Oncology, Aarhus University Hospital Aarhus, Denmark

Simon Skouboe was born in 1990 in Denmark. He studied for his bachelor in technical physics and subsequently his master’s degree in physics at the Department Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University in Denmark. During his studies, he discoveredmedical physics and went on to followhismaster’s thesis in this field, as he found it evenmore interesting than nuclear and solid-state physics. The master’s thesis involved real-time motion including dose reconstructions in phantoms including experiments as verifications, along with the ground work for expanding the program to handle patient anatomy. The work during his master’s thesis was successful, and he started a PhD project as a direct continuation of the work, under the supervision of Prof Per Poulsen, medical physicist Thomas Ravkilde and Prof Morten Høyer. His focus of interest was on development of software tools and its clinical application thereof. The real-time motion-including dose reconstructions were implemented in the clinic for liver SBRT patients in 2018 during his PhD. He intends to make use of the developed system in a prostate

study before submitting his PhD thesis at the end of 2019. Currently in the third and final year of his PhD, Simon hopes to get funding for a post-doc focused on treatment adaptation based on delivered dose.
