After the successfully collaboration experience with the group of Dr. Francesco Romano, from INFN-CT, within the FRIDA project on flash radiotherapies, we are happy to communicate that the collaboration is further strengthening with the recently approved R4I project named DREAM (silicon carbide array DetectoR for dose profilE meAsureMents at FLASH regimes).
The project, coordinated by Dr. Francesco Romano, a Researcher at the INFN Section of Catania, was selected under the INFN Research for Innvovation (R4I) call, supporting the passage of new technologies developed within INFN that are promising for future commercialisation.

STLab welcomes Enrico Sangregorio, chemist and material scientist, as part of the phD students team
Dr. Sangregorio obtained his Master’s Degree in Materials Chemistry in June 2021 with an experimental thesis entitled “Vibrational spectroscopy in molecular ices subjected to irradiation with ionic beams and their application in astrophysics”, a work made in collaboration with the National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF). In December 2021 he started the Ph.D course in Materials Science and Nanotechnology at the University of Catania. His research subject involves the development and the characterization of innovative SiC-based X-Ray and neutrons detectors with possible applications in physics, nuclear fusion and nuclear medicine. This project was born from a collaboration between UniCT’s department of Physics and Astronomy, CNR-IMM (Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystem) and STLab (Science and Technology Laboratory)
