This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features the medical physicist Nick Zacharopoulos, who is CEO of US-based Aktina Medical.
In conversation with Physics World’s Tami Freeman, Zacharopoulos reflects on the twists and turns in his career developing new technologies for radiation oncology. His journey began when he was a child helping his father build radiotherapy components in family’s garage and led to academic and commercial success.
Zacharopoulos talks about his role in the development of a pivotable product for Aktina and how his persistence – and a chance lunch with a colleague – led to his enrolment in a PhD programme at McGill University.
