Doctoral thesis: Directed by St´ ephane Vialette (LIGM, Universit´ e Paris-Est Marne La Vall´ ee, France) Co-directed by Xiaodong Wu (University of Iowa, USA) and Co-supervised by Guillaume Blin (LaBRI, Universit´ e de Bordeaux, France) Paul Morel MSPT 2 / 45

Main problematic: How can we improve the robustness of proton therapy treatments when the patient moves during the delivery ( intra-fraction motions )? Paul Morel MSPT 3 / 45
