about smps

Cheryl has been involved in medical physics work since 2006, overseeing the compliance of radiation safety and quality assurance of medical imaging equipment in the Radiology department.  She is currently an academic staff with the Singapore Institute of Technology,  where she lectures in the Diagnostic Radiography and Radiation Therapy undergraduate Honours degree programme. Her research interests include imaging physics, medical dosimetry and health technology innovations

Melvin focuses on Radiotherapy track and is currently looking to learn and specialize in Radiation Safety, Quality Assurance within Radiotherapy. He has an interest in implementing new clinical services and improving clinical workflow. His key interest is in Patient Specific Quality Assurance and Motion management to ensure that patients will be treated safely and accurately

Laurentcia’s interest lies in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. She  performs quality control on the irradiating equipment and radiology facilities to ensure patients, medical staff, and the public are safe from radiation exposure. Laurentcia also conducts training to medical staff on safety practices when working with radiation so as to ensure that examinations and procedures are delivered safely, effectively, and accurately

Koon Liang specialises in Diagnostic Radiology and provides medical physics service across a range of portfolios including equipment QC, patient dose monitoring, and dosimetry and shielding calculations. His interests include translating qualitative image quality descriptors to quantitative metrics, and Statistical Parametric Mapping brain MRI image processing. In his free time, Koon Liang is on a quest to complete reading all the science fiction novels ever written by Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Ted Chiang.

Hong Qi graduated with a PhD from NUS with a thesis on radiobiological monte carlo simulation and development of DAQ system for 2.1 MeV proton microbeam system. He is currently a physicist in NCCS with clinical experience including commissioning of CT, LINAC and proton therapy system, as well as machine and patient specific quality assurance. He is actively involved in medical physics research with main interest lying in the use of artificial intelligence in medical physics, patient specific quality assurance and proton therapy.
