Ana M. Barragán-Montero
During my Phd, I worked on robust optimization for proton therapy at the MIRO laboratory, leading birth to our first prototype of open-source treatment planning system: MIROpt. After defending my Phd in 2017, I have continued to work on different topics to improve proton therapy and radiotherapy treatments: adaptive radiotherapy, fast robust optimization, Arc Proton Therapy, and the integration of artificial intelligence to automate and standardize clinical practice. Today, I am thrilled to be part of the OpenTPS team and contributing to this comprehensive open-source tool for the medical physics community |

Sophie Wuyckens
I graduated in Particle Physics and Cosmology from UCLouvain in Belgium in June 2018. I began my professional journey with an internship at CERN in the engineering department, which further fueled my passion for scientific research. Subsequently, I embarked on a doctoral program in Particle Physics, but after a year and a half, I made a personal decision to shift my focus towards Medical Physics. Currently, I am a PhD student specializing in Arc Proton Therapy, and I have been actively involved in this field since 2020. |

Benjamin Roberfroid
I graduated as a biomedical engineer at UCLouvain and then decided to specialize more in medical physics with an extra year of university courses for clinical physicists. Later, I had the opportunity to start a PhD thesis in the MIRO laboratory. My work deals with online adaptive radiotherapy for current state-of-the-art and emerging solutions. |

Eliot Peeters (student)
Currently a master student in Biomedical Engineering at UCLouvain, I am focusing on medical physics and medical imaging. Through some options courses in my bachelor, I have become much interested in the field of quantum physics thereby leading me to study proton therapy. I am now working as a student at the MIRO lab to help on the OpenTPS project and the OpenTPS website. |

Kevin Souris
Senior software engineer at IBA since 2022, with over 10 years of experience in the field of radiation therapy. I completed a PhD in medical Physics and worked as a post-doc researcher at UCLouvain in Belgium. My research was dedicated to innovations in software and algorithms used for radiation therapy, and more specifically proton therapy. I have devloped the open-source Monte Carlo dose engine MCsquare, contributed to the Reggui research application, improved methods and tools for proton therapy treatment robustness and 4D evaluations, studied and developed novel optimization methods for advanced proton therapy planning and for adaptive therapy. I’m now working as a software engineer at IBA dosimetry. I have initiated and developed the OpenTPS project. |

Guillaume Janssens Research Expert at IBA, with over 15 years of experience in the field of radiotherapy. I graduated at the UCLouvain in Belgium with a PhD in Electrical Engineering before working as post-doc in the radiotherapy department of the university hospital in Brussels. I joined IBA as research scientist in 2012. Since then, I worked on many research projects including prompt gamma imaging, image processing, motion management and proton arc therapy. I am the creator and main contributor of the OpenReggui open-source software. Since 2017, I am also teaching proton therapy at the university. |

Valentin Hamaide
Research engineer at IBA since 2022. Previously, I graduated in mathematical engineering at UCLouvain, Belgium, and completed a PhD on mathematical methods (optimization and machine learning) applied to proton therapy. I worked on research projects to improve the cost-effectiveness of PT via predictive maintenance techniques and automatic calibration of beamlines with optimization routines, 4D imaging, and treatment planning techniques. I have been actively involved in the development of OpenTPS, in particular, 4D treatment tools.
