Title: Using NetLogo to Model Cancer Radiation Treatment

Speaker: Alex Kasper

Institute: 4th Year Integrated Science (Physics Specialization)

Location: ABB-270

Description:

NetLogo is an agent-based programming environment used for educational models. I developed a model to demonstrate the important concepts behind developing a radiation treatment plan for cancer patients. In this talk I will introduce the mathematical models used to describe the response of living cells to irradiation, provide a brief introduction to NetLogo as a programmable tool, and present my model. I would also like to start a discussion on introducing computer programming to students
