Research activities
Esther received her Master’s Degree in Physics at the University of Pisa in 2012, and obtained her Ph.D. in Physics in 2016. Since then, her research activity has been mainly focused on the following fields: innovative biomedical imaging modalities (Cerenkov luminescence imaging), development and simulation of detectors for medical applications (UTOFPET project), study of nuclear fragmentation in hadrontherapy (FOOT experiment), study of the mechanisms behind the flash effect in electron radiotherapy and development of dedicated dosimeters (FRIDA experiment).
