About Me

Info

My research interests lie at the intersection of radiation detection techniques, radiation physics, and the environment. I am dedicated to exploring the fundamental connections between these areas to address environmental challenges related to radioactivity.

Core Expertise and Background

My background encompasses a range of technical and analytical skills, including:

  • Radiation Health Effects & Dose Estimation: Comprehensive understanding of the health impacts of radiation exposure and methodologies for accurate radiation dose assessment.
  • CR-39 Detectors: Thorough understanding of CR-39 detectors, covering their theoretical principles, calibration procedures, and diverse applications in radiation measurement.
  • Preparation and Measurement of Environmental Samples: Skilled in the preparation and analysis of the physicochemical properties of various environmental matrices, including soil, water, and building materials.
  • Engineering Statistics & Statistical Analysis: Extensive experience in applying statistical methods using the R language, along with various packages and frameworks such as H2O and Shiny for comprehensive data analysis, modeling, and visualization.
  • Machine Learning for Environmental Science: Application of machine learning algorithms to analyze environmental datasets, extract valuable insights, and develop predictive models for environmental phenomena.
  • Metrological Engineering: In-depth knowledge of radiation monitoring in environmental contexts, with expertise in the precise measurement of radon, thoron, and their progeny. Proficient in gamma spectrometry and alpha particle detection methodologies.
  • Software Engineering: Proven ability in developing data acquisition and analysis software using Fortran and Free Pascal languages for scientific applications.
  • Web Development: Familiarity with front-end web technologies, including HTML5 and CSS, for the development and maintenance of web-based resources.
  • Mathematical Modelling: Expertise in formulating and implementing mathematical models, particularly for simulating gas transport in porous media using the Finite Element Method (FEM).
  • Quality Control & Quality Assurance: Strong commitment to maintaining high standards in research and measurement practices through the implementation and management of robust quality control and assurance protocols.

Organization and Editorial Contributions

Beyond research, I have actively contributed to the scientific community through the organization of international events. This includes the management of International Intercomparisons for passive and active instruments used in radon and thoron measurements. I also served as Secretary for significant international conferences, namely the Thoron Workshop 2010 and NARE 2012. I also expert of UNSCEAR, WHO and IAEA.

Furthermore, I have dedicated time to editorial responsibilities, having served as a Guest Editor for the respected Radiation Protection Dosimetry Journal and the Journal of Radiological Protection.

Publications and Presentations

My research output includes over 50 publications in internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journals and more than 40 contributions to conference proceedings, reflecting my commitment to disseminating research findings within the scientific community.
