Degree: Pisa (2017)
Research: Image Reconstruction techniques in medical imaging.
Supervisor: Nicola Belcari
Thesis: Efficient projection-space resolution modelling for image reconstruction in Positron Emission Tomography

 

I was born in Iglesias (south-west Sardinia) where I attended the ITIS “G. Asproni” and got my Information Technology high school diploma with final mark 100/100. I moved to Tuscany in 2005 to attend the Physics Course of the University of Pisa where I graduated with 108/110. During the B.Sc. thesis, I studied the effects of confinement on the glass transition temperature of ultra-thin polymeric films at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. During the M.Sc. degree at the University of Pisa, I studied Medical Physics and I got graduated in 2017 with 110/110 (cum laude). The topic of the M.Sc. thesis, supervised by Dr Niccolò Camarlinghi, was the development of an accurate model of a pre-clinical Positron Emission Tomography scanner in order to improve the spatial resolution of the image reconstructed by the tomograph using iterative image reconstruction algorithms. My current research interests focus on the study and improvement of the image reconstruction process in PET and others related imaging systems. Since 2007 I work in the Italian High School as a teacher of “information technology laboratory” or “physics laboratory”.
