I completed my studies in Medical Physics in 2015, following research at Italian National Institute of Health focused on preclinical MR imaging. Since then, I have specialized in quantitative MRI for clinical body and neuro applications. I have also gained significant experience in radiotherapy, mainly in imaging application in RT and adaptive radiotherapy. I am currently responsible for the medical physics aspects of the MRI-Linac recently installed in our institution. I have authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications, coordinate the AIFM-Working Group on MRI Quantification, and served as Scientific Chair for the 2024 EFOMP-AIFM course on Quantitative MRI.

Desde la finalización de mi doctorado, he volcado mi investigación científica en el área de la radioterapia adaptativa basada en imágenes funcionales, tanto de medicina nuclear como de resonancia magnética, y en protección radiológica. He participado en dos proyectos europeos con financiación de la UE (BIOCAPS FP7, SINFONIA H2020), seis proyectos de investigación nacionales con financiación pública (E-IMRT II, LOCALIZA, ARTFIBio, ARTFIbioDTS y HeNeBra) y en tres de ellos como IP o CoIP. Hasta diciembre de 2021 seré CoIP del proyecto HeNeBra y el IP del proyecto SINFONIA hasta septiembre de 2024 (es un proyecto europeo con 14 centros de investigación, liderado por John Damilakis, anterior presidente de EFOMP). También he colaborado en el proyecto europeo HERO llevado a cabo por la ESTRO en calidad de representante de la SEFM ante la ESTRO. Participo como investigador en el 2 ensayo clínico EORTC 1414 y en el subcontrato correspondiente al IISGS del proyecto Tatanka con la empresa SIVSA.
Como socio de la SEFM he participado como tesorero del congreso de Vigo y enlace con la ESTRO en el período 2015-2019 y en la actualidad soy representante de la SEFM en la EFOMP y continúo participando en la redacción del borrador del CORE CURRICULUM europeo del físico médico en radioterapia, elaborado de forma conjunta por la ESTRO y la EFOMP. También me han nombrado recientemente secretario del comité de asuntos europeos de la EFOMP.

I am a medical physicist and senior scientist from Switzerland. My core expertise is in beam delivery, applied to photon C-arm linacs and proton gantries. My research activities focus on clinical implementation of new radiobiological concepts in clinical practice, focusing on spatially fractionated radiotherapy and ultra-high dose rates treatments (FLASH irradiations). I love working alongside clinicians, biologists and technicians, and with them trying to test the limits of conventional concepts. I also have expertise in innovative treatments for motion mitigation and treatments of moving tumors with protons
