Biographical Sketch: Donatella Tozzi studied Physics at La Sapienza University in Rome, where she obtained her undergraduate degree and completed her Ph.D. in Physics. During her Ph.D., she worked on the CUPID and CYGNO experiments.
For CUPID she contributed to the design and realization of the Water Cherenkov detector used as muon veto and neutron shield. She worked on GEANT4 simulations to study the performance of the system and on the assembly and testing of detector prototypes. She analyzed the data collected during dedicated test beams and cosmic rays stand.
For the CYGNO experiment, she was responsible for the radiopurity screening of materials and components for the final prototype.
Research: Donatella is working on the development, construction, and installation of the muon veto system for the CUORE/CUPID experiment, as well as on data taking analysis.
