Biography

After graduating in Physics from the University of Trento (1999) he earned a PhD in technical physics at the Vienna University of Technology (2003) defending a thesis with title “Synchrotron Radiation induced Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis applied to Material Science”. He is author and co-author of over 100 articles in refereed journals mostly related to X-Ray Spectrometry for elemental analysis, materials characterization, X-ray detectors where his contributions involved both the experimental and the computational (data evaluation) activities. Recent research interests involve the combination of analytical techniques (e.g. combined XRF and XRD analysis), the design and testing of semiconductor detectors for specific analytical needs and applications in high energy physics and astrophysics.
