Biography
Particle accelerator scientist with research experience at DESY, HZDR, and Elettra. She focuses on electron beam dynamics, free-electron lasers, microbunching instability, and THz radiation sources. She combines theoretical analysis with numerical modelling and simulation to develop accelerator concepts and address challenges in beam physics.
Research Interests
- Electron beam dynamics and collective effects
- Free-electron lasers, including seeded and echo-enabled harmonic generation schemes
- Microbunching instability and wakefield calculations
- THz radiation sources and accelerator lattice design
- AI-assisted accelerator control and machine optimisation
