Franz David Schaefer

Master’s Thesis with the Department of Data Analysis and Modeling in Medicine. Deep learning (FCNN) to Predict & Optimise Radiotherapy Treatments. Full Data Extraction/Acquisition from open source DICOM resources. Integration into MatRad radiotherapy planning software as optimiser metric. Network developed using Python, Pytorch, with CUDA compatibility. MonteCarlo Dose Simulation. Full CT, Simulation & Statistics Stack. Volume Conversion and Simulations processed through C++, Geant4.

Investigated Acoustic Emissions of Nitinol SMA during Heat-Stress Cycling. Developed a novel approach, to investigate high frequency emissions and simulate the impact on structural stability. Data processed through Mathematica.
