Research
I received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Milano Bicocca Italy, in 2014. I am an expert of neutron irradiation experiments, fast neutron spectroscopy, dosimetry and instrumentation. I am currently working at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), where I am responsible for ChipIr, an atmospheric-like neutron beam for the irradiation of microelectronics. ChipIr has been built primarily for industry, taking into account the increasing needs of Single Event Effects testing for the reliability of devices and systems. I work to expand the Chip Irradiation industrial and academic user programme, and to expand the irradiation capabilities at the ISIS neutron and muon source.
