Ignacio Bartol
Biography
Ignacio Bartol is a Ph.D. student in the NRE/MP Program in the RED2 Laboratory at Georgia Tech. His main research area is using computational fluid and particle dynamics (CFPD) to model the dose deposited by inhaled radioactive aerosols, under the advice of Dr. Dewji. This is an exciting area to work in that mixes high-accuracy numerical modeling, with machine learning methods to improve the current state-of-the-art in internalized dose deposition.
As a side research project, he is doing research on computational techniques applied to radiation therapy planning. This involves using computer vision techniques, machine learning, and high-performance computing to develop new methods in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) planning and QA.
As a piece of background information, Ignacio has graduated as a Nuclear Engineer (i.e. MEng degree equivalent) from the Balseiro Institute, a prestigious university in this field located in Bariloche, Argentina. He has previously done two years of Physics at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), a requirement to be admitted to his undergraduate program. Their undergraduate thesis was titled “Optimization of F-18 administered dose for neurological PET/MR studies”, performed at the Institute of Nuclear technologies for health (INTECNUS).
