Alessio Bocci

Alessio studied Physics at the University of Roma “La Sapienza” and in 2004 graduated with a degree Laurea in Physics specialising in Astrophysics, working in the characterisation of an IR array detector dedicated to spectroscopical applications.

Between 2005 and 2008 Alessio studied for a PhD in Astronomy at the Department of Astronomy and Space Science of the University of Florence in Italy, at the XUVLab, working on the R&D of diamond detectors for spectroscopical applications in the detection of photons at soft and hard X-rays energies.

During this period Alessio was involved in the research and development of fast un-cooled IR HgCdTe photo-detectors for the diagnosis of particle beams, in collaboration with the DAΦNE-Light facility at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Italy. During the last year at LNF he held a position as “Ricercatore-Tecnologo” within the Accelerator Division. He was involved in the framework of the Time Resolved Positron Light Emission (3+L) experiment; a project devoted to the diagnosis of the e⁺ beam of DAΦNE.

At present Alessio’s main scientific interests lie in the field of accelerator physics, beam diagnostic techniques and experimental applied physics.   With effect from October 2009 be became an Experienced Researcher (ER) within DITANET in the Nuclear Physics Group at the Centro National de Aceleradores (CNA) of the University of Seville in Spain. Here his main activity will be dedicated to the development of novel detectors, electronic equipment, and data acquisition, relevant for beam tracking, beam diagnosis, charged particle detection, and medical applications.
