We offer the following master thesis job:

"Scenario dose calculation for robust optimization"

Robust optimization is an essential tool for planning of proton treatments. However, it requires the calculation of multiple dose distributions, representing different realizations of uncertainties, in each iteration of the optimization. This makes the treatment planning very time-consuming. In this work, you will investigate new methods for approximate dose calculation. The work will include implementation of algorithms and comparative evaluation of the quality of dose calculation methods.
