BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Experimental physicist in applied physics and condensed-matter physics, with a background in theoretical and experimental nuclear physics. Research interests include: the measurement of neutron cross sections with applications to medical physics, radiation protection and engineer ing; the development of instrumentation for epithermal neutron spectroscopy with applications to cultural heritage; the adsorption and the catalysis of molecular hydrogen in porous materi als to be used in green transports; and the study of the single-particle dynamics and nuclear quantum effects in disordered and hydrogen-bonded systems.

Researcher and Instrument Scientist (7 Sep 2015– 20 Nov 2021) at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (United Kingdom)
Research Associate (Sep 2012– Sep 2015) at the NAST Center, University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy) Research Associate in the activities related to Neutron Imaging on Cultural Heritage materials (2012–2014)andonthedevelopmentoftechniquesforelectron-volt neutron spectroscopy with applications across the chemical and physical sciences (2014– 2015), within the PANAREA project, at the NAST Centre and Physics Department.
EDUCATION
Ph.D. degree in Physics (27 May 2011; ISCED 8), University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy) Thesis Title: “On the quantum contributions to phase transitions in water probed by inelastic neutron scattering”. Supervisors: Prof. C. Andreani and Prof. R. Senesi. The work of thesis focused on the study of the nuclear dynamics of hydrogen in several phases of light and heavy water, investigated by inelastic and deep-inelastic neutron scattering.
