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.
