The Carleton Laboratory for Radiotherapy Physics (CLRP) is a research group of the Department of Physics at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada.  The CLRP is an active and dynamic research group, composed of three faculty members (Drs. David W. O. Rogers, Gabriel O. Sawakuchi, and Rowan M. Thomson), one research associate, eight graduate students, and three undergraduate students.  We are all engaged in a variety of projects in radiation dosimetry and radiotherapy physics.  The group benefits from shared resources, from informal meetings on a nearly weekly basis, and monthly technical internal seminars. Please, navigate on our website to learn more about our activities.
