The Team

During the Cern Hackathon I had the opportunity to work on the project of designing a medical linear accelerator (linac) for breast cancer therapy, with the higher aim of making a cost-effective design. Specifically, I worked on the theoretical research of the main parts of the gantry needed for the medical linac and focused my attention on a more profitable bending magnet system, while examining the ones that are already commercially used by well-known companies, such as Elekta, Varian etc.

I am Krishna, I am currently in my third year of UG studies majoring in physics at Mumbai University. I am interested in space neuroscience and medical physics. I had an amazing time working on the project, I had the brief idea about the clinical Linac but during this hackathon I studied the working of it in detail and how it has been used in the treatment from the years and now I am fascinated by the topic. I am gonna surely study more about it.
