Transport of Energetic Electrons in Solids

Dr. Maurizio Dapor is Head of the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Computational Science of the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*-LISC). He holds a M.Sc. degree in Physics and a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering. His research covers Monte Carlo simulations of the transport of fast electrons in solids, with applications to the scanning electron microscopy and to several electron spectroscopies. He was Visiting Professor at the Departamento de Física Aplicada, Universidad de Alicante, from April to June 2016, and Leverhulme Visiting Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield from December 2014 to November 2015. He was Scientific Consultant at the Integrated Systems Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, from January to December 2009, and Research Associate at the University of Sheffield’s Department of Engineering Materials from June 2007 to February 2008.
