Kaiming Guo is currently a Medical Physics Resident in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Toronto, and received his Ph.D and B.Sc in Physics from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. His doctoral research involved developing a hybrid method to estimate patient scattering from therapeutic x-ray beams as a part of 3D EPID-based in vivo dosimetry research. His undergraduate Honours thesis project was on “Tracking of patient-based tumor motions using optical flow with drift correction methods”. His research interests are mechanical designs, machine learning, neural networks, and x-ray transport with Monte Carlo simulation.

Chris completed his PhD in medical physics at Carleton University in Ottawa, ON, where he worked on the development of x-ray coherent scatter imaging systems. He was subsequently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Ryerson University, modelling the energy response of cadmium-zinc-telluride photon-counting detectors and investigating methods to compensate for spectral distortions. He is interested in applying novel imaging techniques in the clinic for adaptive radiotherapy. He enjoys travelling, playing badminton and hiking.

Allan is a first-year medical physics resident at Sunnybrook (Odette Cancer Centre). He grew up in Lockeport, Nova Scotia, and completed his PhD at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS. His research interests include radiation detection and brachytherapy. Besides medical physics, he enjoys running, playing soccer, hiking, and reading.
