Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Sarrut is a senior research director at CNRS with 15+ years of experience advancing medical image processing, Monte Carlo simulations, and medical physics for radiation therapy and nuclear medicine. He combines academic rigor—Doctorat in Computer Science and DEA from ENS Lyon—with hands-on software development, notably contributing backend algorithms and machine-learning integrations to the widely used OpenGATE simulation platform to improve dose accuracy. Based in Lyon, he bridges research and clinical application through long-term roles at CNRS and Centre Léon Bérard, translating complex physics models into validated tools for patient care. Known for debugging deep physics issues and refining models, he brings a rare mix of theoretical expertise and practical coding appetite—summed up by his playful GitHub motto, "I like to code it code it."
