Description

Using cyclotrons for medical purposes

Nancy holds a PhD from AIX-Marseille University. She did a post-doc at "Physikalisches Institut, Universitaet Bonn". The whole time she worked on the ATLAS experiment. During her time at CERN (2009-2014), she focused on b-tagging measurements, precision measurements of the Standard Model with the top quark, as well as the search of the Higgs boson decaying into two b-quarks.
Since 2014, she is working for PMB-ALCEN, as a particle physicist and project manager, in south of France. She is in charge of particle-matter interaction simulations for the conception of the head of linear electron accelerators, for medical and imaging purposes, X-rays targets and PET targets, and shielding conception for Linacs and cyclotrons.
