Rima SAYAH (EL) FADDOUL

Faculté des sciences – Chargé de cours

Medical Physicist in Radiotherapy. I obtained my Bachelors degree in Physics from the Faculty of Sciences of USJ in 2007. I then continued my studies in medical physics at the University of Paris-Sud obtained a Master's degree in Medical Radiophysics in 2009. I then obtained a PhD from the University of Paris-Sud. My thesis work focused on Monte Carlo simulations of doses due to secondary neutrons in proton therapy. In 2013, I obtained the Qualification Diploma in Radiological and Medical Physics. I then worked in radiotherapy departments (North East Parisian Oncology and Radiotherapy Center, Hôtel Dieu de France in Beirut, Sainte-Clotilde Clinic in Reunion Island). I currently work as a medical radiophysicist in the radiotherapy department of the Hôtel Dieu de France in Beirut.
