About Me
Kim McAuley is an award-winning researcher in mathematical modeling of chemical processes. McAuley's models and statistical techniques are used by chemical and pharmaceutical corporations for process design, scale-up, optimization and control. Collaborating with medical physicists, McAuley utilized her modeling and statistical skills to advance the field of radiation dosimetry. Her team developed gel dosimeter recipes with enhanced sensitivity and chemical safety, which are used for quality assurance of 3D radiation dose distributions generated by cancer radiotherapy equipment. She is Lab Leader of the Chemical Process Mathematics Lab, a multi-institutional laboratory of the Fields Institute's Centre for Quantitative Analysis and Modeling.
