Maria Zankl
Bio
Maria Zankl graduated in Mathematics from Technical University Munich, Germany, and presently works with the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection. Her professional experience encompasses the simulation of photon transport in matter using Monte Carlo methods, the calculation of organ dose conversion coefficients for occupational, environmental, and medical radiation exposures and the construction of models of the human body for radiation transport calculations. She was the main developer of the HMGU (former GSF) family of voxel phantoms and of the ICRP/ICRU Adult Reference Computational Phantoms and main author of ICRP Publication 110.
Maria was member of ICRU Report Committee “Phantoms and Computational Models in Therapy, Diagnosis and Protection” (ICRU Report 48, 1988 – 1992), corresponding member of Joint ICRP/ICRU Task Group “Conversion Coefficients for use in Radiological Protection against External Radiation” (ICRP Publication 74, ICRU Report 57, 1993 – 1997), member of ICRU Report Committee “Tissue Substitutes, Phantoms and Computational Modelling in Medical Ultrasound” (ICRU Report 61, 1991 – 1998), and Committee Strahlenschutztechnik (Radiation protection technology) of the German Radiation Protection Commission (2003 – 2008 and 2021 – 2022).
Maria has been member of several Task Groups within ICRP Committee 2: Task Group 4 “Dose Calculations (DOCAL)” (2001-2013); Task Group 96 “Computational Phantoms and Radiation Transport” (since 2014), Task Group 103 “Mesh-type Reference Computational Phantoms” (since 2016), Task Group 113 “Reference Organ and Effective Dose Coefficients for Common Diagnostic X-Ray Imaging Examinations” (since 2019).
