Abstract

_{As physicists, we research how to characterize changes in patterns
across time and space. In medical physics, we devise new Monte Carlo
algorithms to achieve more accurate absorbed dose distributions in
realistic patient models: how can we characterize differences in 3D
spatial distributions of dose compared with traditional evaluations?
On shorter length scales, simulations of radiation interactions in detailed
microscopic tissue models enable new evaluations of 3D microdosimetric 
distributions: how can we characterize these spatial patterns of energy
deposition and connect with cellular response to radiation?  Across 
science, there are efforts to address the challenges of equity, 
diversity, and inclusion: how do we assess changes with time? This 
colloquium will focus on research to quantify changes in – sometimes 
disparate – patterns in time and space.}

Timbits, coffee, tea will be served in STI A before the colloquium.
