CPP welcomes a new member, Dr Daniele Margarone.
New Lecturer in CPP - Dr Daniele Margarone
Dr Daniele Margarone - Daniele graduated with honours in Physics at Catania University in 2004, received a Marie Curie Fellowship at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IoP-CAS) in 2006 and his PhD degree in Physics at Messina University in 2008, defending a thesis entitled ¡°Ion Acceleration and Diagnostics in Laser- generated Plasmas¡± for experimental work carried out at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN-LNS), Catania, Italy. In 2008-2011 he was Post Doc Researcher at IoP-CAS in Prague. In 2012-2019 he was appointed as Senior Researcher at IoP-CAS and Research Leader of the ¡°Particle Acceleration by Lasers¡± Research Programme (RP3) of the ELI-Beamlines international user facility, as well as Deputy Head of the Department of Experimental Programmes at ELI-Beamlines and responsible for the ELIMAIA (ELI Multidisciplinary Applications of laser-Ion Acceleration) beamline commissioning and operation. Currently he is employed as Lecturer in Experimental Plasma Physics at Queen¡¯s University Belfast. His main research interests are in the area of laser driven ion acceleration, innovative target geometries, real-time diagnostics of particles and radiation generated in laser-plasmas, generation of brilliant particle streams from nuclear fusion reactions, production of laser-based secondary sources for multidisciplinary applications, including new compact approaches to hadrontherapy for cancer treatment and enhancement of cancer cell killing efficacy through the proton boron nuclear fusion reaction.
