Title of Diploma/Qualification Master’ s degree – Physics
Place Universita degli studi di Ferrara `
Final degree mark 97/110
Subjects and skills learned Advanced modern Physics. Medical Physics curriculum: theory, laboratory (imaging systems
calibration/performance test, x-ray, CT, SPECT), Dosimetry. Electron Microscopy physics (SEM, TEM).
Fabrication of Semiconductor structures for Particle Channeling.
Details Title of the thesis: ”In vitro neuronal morphologies: towards 3D imaging”. Supervisors: Dott.
Catherine Villard, Dott. Celine Braini
Thesis abstract I have shown that the resolution of a novel cell volume measurement technique (Fluorescence
eXclusion Method, fXm), based on microfluidic chambers, improves if the molds for fabricating the
PDMS microfluidic chambers are made by silicon photolitography, instead of micro-milling a brass
bulk.

Date October 2013
Title of Diploma/Qualification Bachelor’ s degree, Innovative Physical Technologies
Place Universita degli studi di Ferrara `
Final degree mark 94/110
Subjects and skills learned Solid knowledge base in Physics and Technology. Approach to the world of industry. Classical
physics, modern physics, elements of quantum physics, applied physics, solid state physics, semiconductor
physics, condensed matter physics. CAD/CAM use. Scientific C programming, networks.
Industrial management and microeconomy.
Details Title of the thesis: “Study and realization of the SiPM-based readout system for the Upgrade of
the muon detector of the LHCb experiment”.
Supervisors: Dott. Massimiliano Fiorini, Dott. Mirco Andreotti, Dott. Wander Baldini
Thesis abstract Some basic parameters needed for the characterization of an innovative muon detector prototype
have been calculated within the ROOT C++ framework, on the basis of data acquired from a
prototype detector based on SiPMs and scintillators. Such detector will be part of the LHC
Upgrade, inside the LHCb experiment.
