  I graduated in Physics at Rome University "La Sapienza” in 2018. Then I have studied Particle Physics in the same university. Currently I am working on my Master thesis with the ARPG “Applied Radiation Physics Group”. My thesis is focused on FOOT experiment and in particular on the trigger optimization and cross section measurement. Now I am a PhD student in Accelerator Physics at "La Sapienza" University.

I studied particle physics at Rome University "La Sapienza" and I graduated in 2019. I developed my Master thesis in cooperation with the Applied Radiation Physics Group. It was focused on the time of flight measurements at the FOOT experiment and on the detector characterization. Currently, my research activity, as a Ph.D. student, is focused on the electromagnetic FRED code, a fast Monte Carlo tool that runs on GPU for treatment planning. My goal is to extend this software, already used for protons at several clinical centers in Europe, to the Intra Operative Radio Therapy and to the Flash Therapy.

I joined the ARPG group in March 2016 and during my Master thesis in particle physics I worked on the characterization of a prototype for the MONDO project, whose main goal is to develop a tracking detector targeting fast and ultra-fast secondary neutrons. The information obtained from my work will be used to design the final device.

During my Ph.D in Rome University "Sapienza" I continue my research work in the MONDO collaboration. Now as a PostDoc, I am working on the development of a new Wearable Individual Dose Monitoring Apparatus (WIDMApp) for the Dose Monitoring in Molecular Radiotherapy.

I graduated in Physics at the department of physics “Ettore Majorana” in Catania in 2019.  I’m studying  Physics of Biosystems at “Sapienza”, University of Rome;  My thesis was focused on trying to use Flash Therapy treatment for the care of deep tumors; specifically, we tried to validate such treatment using electrons of high energy (VHEE) and protons. Currently, I am attending the specialization school in medical physics at the Policlinico Umberto I of Rome.

I studied particle physics at "La Sapienza" University of Rome, graduating in 2020. For my Master's thesis work, I joined the Applied Radiation Physics Group on the MONDO project at SBAI Department, dedicated to the development of a tracker for the secondary neutrons produced during Particle Therapy sessions. My thesis was focused on writing an algorithm for the event reconstruction inside MONDO, measuring the energy resolution, backpointing capability and detection efficiency, with a method of selection for double-elastic scatterings using only hardware parameters and measurable quantities. Now I am a PhD student in Accelerator Physics at "La Sapienza" University. My research activity is dedicated to the field of electron beam monitoring, both in the IORT applications (low energy electrons used to treat superficial tumors) and on studies of the FLASH effect to implement electrons for the treatment of deep seated tumors.
