Applied Physicist | Forbes 30u30 | Hybrid Athlete
Currently at CERN, specializing in radiation interaction with matter, particle detector instrumentation and Monte Carlo simulations. With 7+ years in research institutes, I advanced radiation modeling, benchmark studies, and high-energy beam experiments. Key contributions include project management, experimental test coordination and translating simulation results to operational impact scenarios. Authored publications on radiation fields, detector performance and impact on electronics.
Aspiring to leverage my CERN experience in roles that blend academia, innovation, and technology transfer. Particularly eager to take on the challenges of building a career and apply my knowledge both outside and within the boundaries of physics academia.
Modelling radiation interaction with matter
FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations of the radiation environment around the LHC insertion points, benchmarked against measured data from CHARM and the LHC tunnel.
Detector physics
Development, calibration and beam-test characterisation of Timepix3 and silicon-diode radiation monitors for the accelerator mixed-field environment.
Radiation effects
Translating radiation-level measurements and simulations into operational decisions for electronics reliability across the LHC and its experiments.
Right now
Developing a novel Timepix3 radiation monitor for R2E applications at the LHC and running FLUKA simulations of the radiation environment for the HL-LHC at IP1 (ATLAS) and IP5 (CMS). Full detail on the Full Bio page.
