Marry Thekwe is a Postgraduate Student working on integrating machine learning techniques into proton therapy dosimetry under the supervision of Prof. Daphney Bucher and co-supervised by Dr. Rejoyce Ghavi-Molefe. Her research focuses on developing computational approaches to improve the accuracy and efficiency of dose calculations in proton therapy for cancer treatment.
As a researcher at the intersection of medical physics and artificial intelligence, Thekwe explores how machine learning can enhance the precision of proton therapy planning and delivery, developing algorithms that can predict and optimize radiation dose distributions in complex anatomical structures.
Her work contributes to advancing cancer treatment through innovative computational approaches, addressing the challenges of proton therapy dosimetry with machine learning techniques that can improve treatment outcomes and reduce side effects for cancer patients.
