Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAri-pekka Honkanen is a medical physicist based in Helsinki with 10 years of experience focused on external photon and electron radiation therapy, treatment planning, and QA of therapy units. Trained through Finland’s rigorous EQF level 8 program and a residency at HUS, he combines clinical practice with R&D in automated QA and treatment planning tools. His background in synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy and a PhD on toroidally bent crystal diffraction gives him uncommon expertise in X-ray optics and instrument design that informs his approach to medical imaging and dosimetry. He has co-authored 20+ peer-reviewed articles, led international experimental campaigns at large-scale facilities, and built laboratory-scale spectrometers—skills he now applies to clinical innovation in radiation oncology.
