ISOTOPIA-2.2 - Simulation of medical isotope production with accelerators

a PhD in the Natural Sciences on Multi-step direct reactions at the Univ. of Groningen, and a Professorship at the Univ. of Uppsala on theoretical nuclear reactions.Arjan is currently Head of the Nuclear Data Section at the IAEA in Vienna.Before that, he has worked at ECN/NRG Petten, the Netherlands, on nuclear reaction data for science and technology, and as guest scientist at CEA/Bruyères-le-Châtel and Los Alamos National Laboratory on the development and computational implementation of nuclear reaction models.He has led several students to PhD degrees, has coordinated and chaired various international nuclear data projects such as the OECD/NEA JEFF and WPEC projects, and has advised governments and international organisations on nuclear research and development.Among his scientific accomplishments are innovations in nuclear reaction physics, especially for the optical model and pre-equilibrium reactions, and initiating the '3 T's': the TALYS nuclear model code, Total Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation and the TENDL nuclear data library.He has been awarded the Oppenheimer Coin from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the title of Doctor Honoris Causa by Uppsala University.As of 2025, his h-index is 62 with more than 26 000 citations.Although Arjan is currently in a managerial role, he aims to keep his scientific creativity alive by maintaining and extending TALYS plus all software that emerges from that.Pleas from his friends to also spend time on other things are sometimes honoured.ISOTOPIA is the engine behind the Medical Isotope Browser, nds.iaea.org/mib,which allows to analyze production routes in an efficient way via a GUI.
