Anna Bergamaschi

Anna Bergamaschi is a Group Leader at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland, specifically within the Center for Photon Science's Laboratory for X-ray Nanoscience and Technologies. She holds a PhD in physics from the University of Trieste (Italy) and has dedicated her career to advancing hybrid detector technology for synchrotrons and XFELs since joining PSI in 2008.

• Education
  • PhD in Physics, University of Trieste (Italy), 2005

Her research focuses on detector modeling, characterization of single photon counting and analog detectors, and sensor optimization for soft X-ray applications. Notable projects include the MYTHEN3 and MÖNCH detectors, with innovations in spatial resolution, count rate capability, and energy-resolved imaging.

Anna coordinates international collaborations (e.g., with FBK) and serves as co-editor of the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation since 2019. Her work bridges technical development with experimental applications, particularly in high-resolution X-ray imaging and powder diffraction at the Swiss Light Source.

• Responsibilities
  • Group Leader, PSD Detector Science and Characterization (since 2021)
  • MYTHEN3 detector development
  • FBK collaboration on sensor amplification

Her publications highlight advancements in detector design, sensor materials, and imaging methodologies, with applications in materials science and synchrotron techniques.
