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.

- Position: First Researcher
- Physics for Cultural Heritage
I am an experimental physicist leading the “Physics for Cultural Heritage” research group at CREF. My current research activities concern the study of materials of historical-artistic interest through a combination of spectroscopy and machine learning. I have studied archaeological finds such as ceramics, metals, paper, fabrics, inks, and bone remains through chemical-physical methods. These include neutron techniques, diffraction, gamma spectroscopy and neutron activation, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, hyperspectral and neutron and X-ray imaging. I am a reviewer for several international journals and co-editor of the monograph “Neutron Methods for Archeology and Cultural Heritage” (2017) published by Springer. I co-authored the article “From Physics to Art and Back,” Nature Reviews Physics (2021) and was featured in Elsevier’s New Virtual Special Issue on Women in Physics, 2017.
