Dr Anjana Ramkumar
Ms. Anjana Ramkumar was born on 16th October 1989 at Renukoot,Uttar Pradesh,India. She had her schooling from the state of Tamil Nadu located in southern India. Ms. Ramkumar holds a Bachelor s degree in Medical Radiological Technology from the Amrita Institute of Medi- cal Sciences and Research Centre,Kochi,India. The title of her Bachelor graduation project was Assessment of Gross Tumour Volume by Manual Vs Auto Contouring using PET-VCAR . After attaining her Bachelor degree,Ms. Ramkumar moved to the United Kingdom for her Masters in Medical Physics at the University of Surrey. Her Master thesis was on the topic Com- missioning 4D CT for treatment of stage 1 lung cancer which was a collaboration between the Royal Sussex cancer centre,Brighton,and the University of Surrey. During her undergraduate and postgraduate hospital training,she was also introduced to practical work in Radiotherapy Treatment Planning for 3 years.
Since 2012 November,Ramkumar started her doctoral studies at Delft university of Technology, The Netherlands and was working for the SUMMER project as a Marie Curie research fellow, funded by European Commission (FP7-PEOPLE-2011-ITN) under grant agreement PITN-GA-2011-290148. After submitting the thesis in November 2016, Ms. Ramkumar joined Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre,Cochin,Kerala,India as a Post-Doctoral fellow and a research manager.
