research
The Enrico Fermi Research Center - CREF promotes original and high-impact lines of research, based on physical methods, but with a strong interdisciplinary character and in relation to the main problems of the modern knowledge society.

third mission
The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.

- Nuclear Physics
Throughout my professional experience I have gained expertise in the development and characterization of innovative particle detectors, with a specific focus on the advanced versions of Timepix (TPX) technology. Currently I am conducting my research at the CREF
(Enrico Fermi Research Center), where I am focused on studying the potential applicationsof TPX and Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors for the diagnostics of high-power laser- induced plasmas. In parallel, as a scientific associate at INFN-LNF (National Laboratories of Frascati) I collaborate on the INFN-E and n_TOF (CERN) projects.
This work is a continuation of my Ph.D. in Energy and Environment (Sapienza University of Rome, 2024), during which I specialized in neutron diagnostics for nuclear fusion reactors and characterized an innovative pixelated diamond detector.
My educational background includes a Master of Science in Energy Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome and a Second Level Specializing Master’s in Physical Agents and Radiation Protection (University of Rome Tor Vergata, 2024). I am the recipient of the Premio Giovani AIRP 2022, conferred by the Italian Association for Radiation Protection.
