Our team

Vittorio is originally from Palermo, Italy. He completed a bachelor’s degree in Physics (2015) and a master’s degree in Medical Physics (2017) at the University of Pisa (Italy). His master’s degree thesis concerned the characterization of a system for breast-CT with synchrotron radiation implemented within the SYRMA-3D collaboration at the SYRMEP beamline of Elettra synchrotron. In 2017 he started a PhD course in experimental Physics at the University of Siena (Italy). His PhD project focused on the implementation of two state-of-the-art acquisition systems for spectral imaging applications. The first system was a lab-setup for spectral micro-CT including an energy resolving photon counting detector, the second was a setup for K-edge imaging with bent-Laue optics at synchrotron sources. As part of his PhD program, he spent six months as visiting researcher at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Canada), collaborating with Prof. D. Chapman in the development of acquisition procedures and reconstruction algorithms tailored for spectral imaging with bent-Laue crystals. After defending his PhD thesis in May 2021, Vittorio joined the S-BaXIT project in July 2021. His main interest is in the development of a setup for conventional transmission micro-CT for scattering signal extraction.
