معرفی
Fulvia Arfelli is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Trieste. She actively participates in the Department Council, Course of Study Recommendations, and Doctoral Colleges for multiple Physics cycles (XXIX to XXXIX). Her research focuses on Medical Physics and Biophysics within the Innovative Synchrotron Radiation Imaging Techniques group.
- Research Leadership: Scientific manager for projects like "Fully-digital 3D imager for gamma and hard-X rays" and participant in "A compact multimodal X-ray system for 3D micro-imaging of soft tissue."
- Collaborations: Works closely with INFN, ELETTRA Synchrotron, and local institutions like the Trieste University Hospital.
Research Themes: Her work bridges synchrotron radiation, phase-contrast imaging, and medical diagnostics, with applications in Alzheimer’s early detection, neuroimaging, and cultural heritage preservation. She explores advanced imaging methods to improve clinical specificity and reduce radiation doses.
Scientific Contributions: Recent publications highlight 3D corrosion analysis, pulmonary fibrosis characterization, and fetal skeletal studies. Her projects, such as the MUST initiative funded by the Ministry of University and Research, focus on integrating spectral and phase-contrast X-ray techniques.
- Teaching & Mentorship: Involved in graduate education as a member of doctoral college committees.
- Technical Expertise: Develops detector technologies for X-ray and gamma ray imaging, emphasizing time-to-digit converters.
