Invited Speakers

Luciano Pandola


Luciano Pandola is a Senior Researcher at INFN Laboratori Nazionali
del Sud. Member of the Geant4 since 2002, he has been involved in the
development of low-energy physics models and of advanced examples.


Ιoanna Kypiakou

Ioanna Kyriakou is Assistant Professor at the Medical Physics
Laboratory, Department of Medicine of the University of Ioannina, Greece.
Her research interests include the interaction of charged particles with
biomolecules in the condensed phase and Monte Carlo simulations for
microdosimetry applications in radiation protection and radiation therapy. She
is a member of the Steering Committee of the Geant4-DNA collaboration (and
«Physics» activity leader), member of the Geant4 collaboration (coordinated
by CERN) and Associate Editor in Medical Physics (AAPM) and Physica
Medica (ELSEVIER). She has published 75 papers in peer-review
international journals which have received more than 4000 citations (as per
GoogleScholar).


Serena Fattori

Serena Fattori is a technologist at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, specialising in Monte Carlo simulations with Geant4 and Geant4-DNA, applied to both fundamental and applied radiation studies. Her experience includes neutron background modelling for dark matter experiments, as well as advanced radiobiological and radiochemical modelling for particle therapy. She is a member of both the Geant4 and Geant4-DNA collaborations, actively contributing to the development of several official simulation examples. Her recent research focuses on water radiolysis, particularly in relation to the investigation of the FLASH radiotherapy mechanism.
