Short Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Francesca Di Niso received her Degree in Electronic Engineering in 2006 and master's degree in ‘Technological Innovation in Mechatronics’ in 2008 from the Politecnico of Bari. From 2008 to 2010 she worked at Itel Telecomunicazioni on a project for the monitoring and control of the radioactivity for the production of radiopharmaceuticals. From 2010 she was PhD student in Physics at the Physics Department, University of Bari. Her research activities are mainly focused on the study of laser ablation with ultrafast fiber lasers and development of real-time process sensors in the field of ultra-short pulse micromachining for industrial and medical applications. The results of her work are published in 2 journal articles and 4 conference proceedings
