About the authors
- Lorenzo Brualla is Professor at the Medizinische Fakultät of the Universität Duisburg-Essen and researcher of the Westdeutsches Protonentherapiezentrum Essen, in Germany. His current research activities are related with the simulation of complex radiotherapy and dosimetry problems, both with conventional and proton beams. He is the author of the penEasyLinac code and of several variance-reduction techniques. He has also worked in the field of quantum Monte Carlo in condensed matter physics for the study of low temperature systems. Lorenzo Brualla can be reached here.

- Josep Sempau is associate professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. His main research topics are the development of Monte Carlo algorithms for the simulation of radiation transport and their application in the field of medical physics. He has also made contributions to the study of environmental radioactivity and its correlation with meteorological variables. He is co-author of the Monte Carlo codes PENELOPE, penEasy, DPM and MANTIS. Josep Sempau can be reached here. The full list of his publications can be found here.
