Silvia Tommasin

Dr Tommasin has a decade-long experience in data analysis acquired in multiple filed of research and laboratories located both in Italy and abroad. Further, she concluded the training at the Medical Physics Specialty School hosted at the Policlinico Umberto I in Rome, where she was involved in radio protection and cancer treatment performed with nuclear medicine and external beam therapies.

Dr Tommasin obtained her Phd at Sapienza University working in collaboration with the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics, including a short-term research visit at the University of California in Los Angeles. From the earliest post-doctoral fellowship to study high energy astrophysical phenomena at Tel Aviv University, she moved to life science research. At first, she joined the computational neuroscience laboratory hosted at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to investigate how recent history influences the present via single neuron recording on macaques, then she was awarded with a 1-year fellowship by the Italian Ministry if Foreigner Affairs and the Israeli Center of Research Excellence to work at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Finally, she came back to Italy and held a post-doctoral position in neuroimaging at the Enrico Fermi Center. For seven years she has worked at the Human Neuroscience Department of Sapienza University developing models to investigate neurodegenerative disease via multimodal MRI.

She has worked on multiple types of data, from spectroscopy to imaging, gaining flexibility and novel approaches that are mandatory now that research in life science has been unveiled as multidisciplinary.

From her supervisors both in Italy and abroad, Dr Tommasin has learned how to tackle research problems from different sides and to combine the modalities, that she has become proficient in.

Finally, Dr Tommasin was awarded as co-principal investigator with the grant assigned by the Italian Ministry of Health, namely the call for targeted research 2019, Young researchers. GR-2019 12370095.

She has worked with several research groups joining laboratories across Europe, Asia and U.S.A.

Associate Professor at UniCamillus in Physics (PHYS-06/A).
