I am a medical and biological physics co-op student at McMaster University. I am passionate about healthcare, and I love travelling. My favourite trip to date was a medical service trip to Peru. In my free time, you can find me teaching line dancing.<\/p>\n
During my co-op placement with the McMaster Health Physics Department as a student radiation surveyor, I had the privilege of contributing to a pioneering decommissioning project. I am grateful for my time, and I learned so much working with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, architects, contractors, and the radiation safety team. The project would not have been successful without everyone\u2019s hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n
I first heard about the student paper contest when it was recommended to me by my co-op supervisor.<\/p>\n
I am excited to attend my first CRPA conference, and I look forward to learning about the impactful work of my fellow participants. I am looking forward to sharing my own work and meeting others in the field.<\/p>\n
This summer, I\u2019ll be working on brachytherapy research at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. My aspiration is to further explore this field in my future graduate studies, focusing on medical physics.<\/p>\n

Il a fait ses \u00e9tudes en sciences physiques (Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique) et en g\u00e9nie nucl\u00e9aire (Universit\u00e9 Ontario Tech). Son principal domaine de recherche est le d\u00e9mant\u00e8lement nucl\u00e9aire. Nicholas aspire \u00e0 long terme \u00e0 travailler dans l\u2019industrie nucl\u00e9aire en radioprotection ou en g\u00e9nie afin de soutenir le d\u00e9veloppement de technologies pour r\u00e9duire la dose aux travailleur\u00b7se\u00b7s.<\/p>\n I am a PhD student from Ontario Tech University. My background in physics motivated me to pursue a productive career in the nuclear industry. I went from understanding the industry to wanting to help build and improve it. On the side, I am an avid cornet and trumpet player.<\/p>\n My research focuses on developing advanced methods to capture radionuclide aerosols produced during nuclear decommissioning and dismantlement work. The goal of capture is to reduce dose to the worker and to the environment by capturing the aerosols at the source. While there are feasible technologies to use in the field, we do not yet have an understanding of how much dose they will reduce. As such, we need to model the dose reduction based on the effectiveness of capture devices. This initial model has turned into a branch of my PhD research, in which I hope to better understand the sizing of filtration systems and how I should scale up the capture device that I am currently developing.<\/p>\n I sought some guidance from my university\u2019s radiation safety officer, and he recommended that I submit to this contest.<\/p>\n I am a physicist and engineer by training, so radiation protection is something that is somewhat new to me. There are many people here that know a lot more about radiation protection principles, so their feedback could greatly help my work.<\/p>\n I am currently wrapping up my PhD. As my research work has straddled both radiation protection and engineering, I am looking to seek employment in engineering and health physics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lire le r\u00e9sum\u00e9 de Nicholas :<\/strong> Estimation des effets de la filtration et de la ventilation sur la dose d\u2019a\u00e9rosols inhal\u00e9s par les travailleur\u00b7se\u00b7s lors du d\u00e9mant\u00e8lement d\u2019installations nucl\u00e9aires<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Doctorat, Sciences du rayonnement Shayenthiran est sp\u00e9cialiste en radioprotection et responsable suppl\u00e9ant de la radioprotection au London Health Sciences Center (LHSC) et au St. Joseph\u2019s Health Care London, \u00e0 London en Ontario.

Il est \u00e9galement membre mentor\u00e9 du groupe de travail\u00a0121 de la CIPR.<\/p>\n En dehors de ses fonctions professionnelles, il est passionn\u00e9 par la communication scientifique et l\u2019\u00e9ducation. Il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 occup\u00e9 plusieurs postes en enseignement des sciences.<\/p>\n My name is Shayen Sreetharan and I am currently working and living in London, Ontario, with my wife. I completed my PhD in 2023 through the Radiation Sciences Graduate Program (\u201cRad Grad\u201d) at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. My graduate research investigated the effects of ionizing radiation during development in mammalian models. Outside of my graduate research, I am passionate about science education and communication. Within the technically complex field of radiation sciences (with what seems like an endless list of units for measurement of dose or exposure), I believe it is important to be able to explain these concepts in a manner that can be understood by a wide range of audiences.<\/p>\n My submitted work is part of my involvement with the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) as a mentee\/member of ICRP Task Group 121, which is investigating the effects of ionizing radiation exposure in offspring and next generations. My role within the task group is performing a literature review regarding evidence for multi-generational (where the exposure continues into subsequent generations) and trans-generational (where there is a recovery period in later generations) effects in non-human biota.<\/p>\n One advantage of these non-human study models is that shorter generations allow us to investigate generational impacts of radiation exposure, which is difficult to study within humans. I am completing this work under the mentorship of Dr. Christelle Adam-Guillermin, a researcher at Institut de Radioprotection et de S\u00fbret\u00e9 Nucl\u00e9aire (IRSN), France\u2019s nuclear regulator. I applied for this mentorship position through an open call on the IRCP website. As this task group\u2019s work aligned well with my graduate research in the field of developmental radiation biology, I was interested in contributing to this unique and fascinating concept of radiation exposure effects that may persist multiple generations following the initial exposure.<\/p>\n I previously submitted an abstract for the student paper contest following a discussion with Dr. Diana Moscu, former CRPA President. Diana highly recommended the student paper contest as an opportunity to present my research as a graduate student.<\/p>\n I am most excited to build connections and expand my network with other attendees. My goal is to learn from the other presentations and experts within the Canadian radiation protection community. It will also be my first time visiting Edmonton, and I hope to find time to explore the city!<\/p>\n I am currently working as a radiation safety specialist for two hospital networks in London, Ontario. As I continue to grow in this role, I am looking to get more involved with health physics support for the organization, such as X-ray shielding applications and nuclear medicine room designations. I am also planning to apply for CRPA(R) certification in the future, and I will be working toward that by preparing for the exam and gaining experience in my current radiation protection role. In regards to the ICRP work that I submitted, our task group is continuing to review the literature and working toward a final ICRP publication on the topic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lire le r\u00e9sum\u00e9 de Shayen :<\/strong> Effets de l\u2019exposition aux rayonnements ionisants sur plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations dans le biote non humain<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concours de communications \u00e9tudiantes Anthony J.
