  • Short CV: I graduated in Biomedical Engineering in 2025. My master's thesis, developed within the ARPG research group, was focused in exploring potential VHEE delivery techniques in the framework of lung cancer treatment. I am currently an Accelerator Physics and Technology PhD student, working on the development of a TPS for IntraOperative Electron Radiotherapy (IOeRT).

  • Short CV: 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.

  • Short CV: I graduated in Biomedical Engineering in 2024. My master’s thesis, developed within the ARPG research group, focused on an innovative imaging method for intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOeRT) based on the thermoacoustic effect. I am currently a PhD student collaborating with researchers from “Istituto Superiore di Sanità”, working on the development of a new Wearable Individual Dose Monitoring Apparatus (WIDMApp) for personalized internal dosimetry in patients undergoing molecular radiotherapy.

  • Short CV: In 2024 I graduated in Particle Physics at La Sapienza University of Rome. My master thesis, developed within the Applied Radiation Physics Group, was dedicated to the development of innovative high-Z doped plastic scintillators for nuclear medicine applications. I am currently a PhD student in Accelerator Physics at La Sapienza University and I am attending the Specialty School in Medical Physics at the Policlinico Umberto I hospital in Rome. My current research activity mainly focuses on FLASH Radiotherapy with Very High-Energy Electrons.

  • Short CV: I earned my Master's degree in Physics from Sapienza University of Rome in January 2025. In my thesis work within the FOOT experiment, I optimized the vertex detector and analyzed experimental data and Monte Carlo simulations. Since November 2025, I have been a PhD student at Sapienza, in collaboration with CREF. My research focuses on innovative applications of physics in medicine, specifically developing a new approach for real-time tumor tracking and dose delivery in particle therapy.
