Doctorate in medical physics

The doctoral program in medical physics aims to train researchers and experts capable of applying physics principles to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. It bridges the gap between physical sciences and health sciences, particularly in the fields of medical imaging, radiotherapy, dosimetry, and radiation protection.

Doctoral students gain strong expertise in medical technologies based on ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, including X-rays, MRI, CT scans, PET imaging, ultrasound, and linear accelerators. They also develop advanced skills in image processing, numerical modeling, dose calculation, and radiation risk assessment.

Research in medical physics is inherently interdisciplinary, carried out in close collaboration with hospital departments, cancer treatment centers, biophysics research labs, and companies in the biomedical sector. This research contributes to technological innovation aimed at improving healthcare quality and patient safety.

The program prepares graduates for careers in hospitals (as medical physicists), biomedical research centers, public health organizations, medical imaging and radiotherapy industries, as well as positions in academic research and higher education.
