My interest in Medical Physics has begun since the final year of my undergraduate degree in Physics, when I had a big question; how a radiation beam can penetrate the human body and create an image of the internal organs. I am certain that my interest increased by taking the ''project'' as an elective course in the final semester of my undergraduate program and has grown with each passing year. During that semester, I eagerly studied the physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and my basic and primitive findings have fascinated me ever since. In fact, during that self-study course, I found that magnetic resonance is the dance of the whirling protons in the human body and we can exhibit the difference between the dance style of normal and abnormal tissues, which results in magnetic resonance imaging. When I studied the MRI fundamentals, I almost decided that Medical Physics is a career for me. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Solid-State Physics and a Master’s degree in Medical Physics. I am currently a Ph.D. student of Medical Physics at Western Sydney University in Australia and working on new methods of electron density extraction from MRI images to be used in radiotherapy treatment planning
