Laszlo Zalavari, PhD

Biography

I am originally from Hungary but have been living in Canada for the past 6 years after having lived in England for another 6. In a past life I used to be a theoretical particle physicist exploring the effects of nuclear size on atomic energy levels but have switched to medical physics to pursue my passion for helping people in a more direct way. In my private life, I have been happily married for 4 years and my wife and I have a 2 year old border collie. I like to go on hikes, play board games, basketball and table tennis, and meet up with friends.

Laszlo joined the Stanford University Medical Physics Residency in 2022.
