Dr. Maurizio Dapor is the 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 a Scientific Consultant at the Integrated Systems Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, from January to December 2009, and a Research Associate at the University of Sheffield’s Department of Engineering Materials fromJune 2007 to February 2008. He is a Senior Scientist at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler. He collaborates with the University of Trento’s Department of Physics, where he was an Adjunct Professor of Solid-State Physics from 2011 to 2015 and is currently an Adjunct Professor of Computational Methods for Transport Phenomena. He holds the Italian National Scientific Habilitation to Full Professor in Theoretical Physics of Matter and in Experimental Physics of Matter. He is the author/co-author of more than 120 reviewed scientific papers and of several books.
