Frank Van Den Heuvel, PhD, FAAPM
Frank Van den Heuvel is a clinical physicist and researcher in radiation oncology physics, biology, and computational models with a considerable international experience in academic, industrial, and patient treatment environments. Instrumental in developing novel treatments: marker-based prostate radiation, iterative correction for CBCT, and biological modeling of ultra-high dose--rate effects.
He received his Ph.D. in physics from the Free University of Brussels in 1994. He held academic positions at Wayne State University (Detroit, Michigan, USA), the University of Leuven (Belgium) and, the University of Oxford (UK), where he still holds an honorary position as a research scientist.
He likes to work on the interface of medical physics and computer science making his contributions quite diverse ranging from imaging, treatment planning, data science, and mathematically inspired radiation biology. His current work focusses on FLASH radiation therapy and ultra-high hypo fractionation.
