Andrea MATTERA

Uppsala University - Sweden

 

Last year (10/2010) I took my MSc in Physics at the University of Insubria (Italy), with a specialization in Medical Physics and a thesis dealing with Boron Neutron Capture Therapy applications.  I am now pursuing a PhD in Applied Nuclear Physics at Uppsala University (Sweden). I will work in the measurement of neutron-induced fission yields of several actinides and at different neutron energies, to provide information to be used in future Gen-IV power plants or for the handling of Spent Nuclear Fuel.  I am currently developing an analysis tool to perform the analysis of the data that will soon be collected at the IGISOL-JYFLTRAP facility in Jyväskylä (Finland).
