About me

Professor Eva Bezak has an MSc in Medical Physics (University of Adelaide) and a PhD in Nuclear Physics (Australian National University).

From 2006 till 2015 she was a Chief Physicist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital responsible for services provision to radiation oncology in South Australia and has been a regular contributor in the Medical Radiation Program at the University of South Australia for a number of years.

She was appointed a Professor at UNISA in 2015.

Eva was recently a member of the Australian Academy of Science working party developing a position paper on Future of Accelerators in Australia. In June 2015 she was elected to the Administrative Council of the International Union of Physical and Engineering Sciences in... Read more

Highlights

Prof Bezak's research includes:

radiobiological modelling with several world class models developed for microscopic tumour spread

microdosimetry for ionization damage on a sub-cellular level

investigation of peripheral neutron/photon doses in external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer

associated risks of radiotherapy related cancer; investigation of tumour hypoxia in head and neck cancers and its impact on radiotherapy fractionation schedule

In addition to modelling, her research group has been developing new microdosimetry measurement techniques using Timepix detector (developed in CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research) for use in targeted therapies.
