Rate My Professor Puthenparampil Wilson

Dr. Puthenparampil Wilson serves as a Senior Lecturer in the College of Sciences at Adelaide University, with an Adjunct Senior Lecturer position in the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. He obtained his PhD from Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom, as a recipient of the prestigious Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award. His career history includes a research fellowship at the Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology and Biology, University of Oxford. Currently, he also holds a Senior Lecturer position at the University of South Australia and works as a clinical Medical Physicist at Royal Adelaide Hospital and Lyell McEwin Hospital.

Dr. Wilson's academic interests center on medical physics, encompassing novel particle accelerator technologies for particle therapy, radiobiology of particle therapy and its clinical implications, proton and heavy ion therapy, Monte Carlo simulation for particle therapy, proton treatment planning, non-scaling fixed field gradient accelerator, ultra high dose rate effect, high intensity laser matter interaction, inertial confinement fusion, fast electron transport, filamentation, relativistic electron collimation, and foam and cone target for ICF. He has co-authored key publications such as 'Modelling of dose-escalated proton beam therapy for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer using simulated phantoms' (2026, Physica Medica), 'Modelling the impact of tumour hypoxia on proton therapy and concurrent chemotherapy on locally advanced pancreatic cancer-insights from an in silico study' (2025, Physics in Medicine and Biology), 'A Systematic Review of LET-Guided Treatment Plan Optimisation in Proton Therapy: Identifying the Current State and Future Needs' (2023, Cancers), 'Modelling the influence of radiosensitivity on development of second primary cancer in out-of-field organs following proton therapy for paediatric cranial cancer' (2023, British Journal of Radiology), 'Translational Research in FLASH Radiotherapy—From Radiobiological Mechanisms to In Vivo Results' (2021, Biomedicines), and 'Current understanding of cancer stem cells: Review of their radiobiology and role in head and neck cancers' (2017, Head and Neck). His work has accumulated over 1,200 citations on Google Scholar, impacting the field of radiation oncology and particle therapy.
