The 11th Annual Loma Linda Workshop
Starting a new Quarter Century of Innovation and Collaboration in Applications of Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering to Radiation Therapy.
The Eleventh Annual Loma Linda Workshop on Particle Imaging and Radiation Treatment Planning will take place from August 4-6, 2025.
Once you registered with your full name and email address, you will receive a confirmation email with a personalized Zoom link for all three workshop days. In addition, you will soon be contacted by the Organizing Committee regarding your level of participation (in person versus online) and contribution (overview talk, research update, no contribution).
Scope
The summer workshops at Loma Linda University started in 2015 as interdisciplinary meetings that bring together applied mathematicians, computer scientists, medical physicists, radiobiologists, and radiation oncologists. These workshops have fostered several successful research projects and collaborations that continue to this day. This year, we aim to build on this legacy and inspire new breakthroughs in the field. Information about previous Loma Linda workshops can be found here.

Topics
Our workshop will cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Mathematical/Statistical algorithms for particle therapy, imaging, and treatment planning.
- Large-scale computing and big data management for particle therapy, imaging, and treatment planning.
- Optimization/superiorization methods particle therapy, imaging, and treatment planning.
- Monte Carlo simulation techniques for particle therapy, imaging, and treatment planning.
- Innovative hardware and software solutions for particle therapy, imaging, and treatment planning.
- Algorithms for adaptive radiation therapy.
- Algorithms for TCP and NTCP modeling of radiation therapy
- Algorithms for modeling enhanced protection (e.g., FLASH, GRID) or sensitization in radiation therapy.
In-person and Virtual Participation
While participation via Zoom is possible, we believe in the added value of in-person participation. Being physically present allows for spontaneous discussions and collaborations, which are at the heart of our Loma Linda Workshops. Therefore, we encourage you to join us in person in Loma Linda this year.
Workshop Excursion
As in previous years we are planning a local excursion on the Saturday to explore the dark desert night sky. We will rent a Minivan and go to the Los Angeles National Forest or the Joshua Tree National Park to look for a fun-filled night of stellar exploration.
