Rosa Brancaccio is graduated in Physics in 1999 with a thesis work on Artificial Intelligence applied to Medicine (automated detection and classification of micro-calcification in mammography). She got her PhD in 2004 with a work concerning the development of a new dosimeter for IORT (Intra Operative Radiation Therapy).
Since 2004 she collaborated, as post-doc position, with the X-Ray Imaging Group by study and optimize the system and the reconstruction software for tomographic analysis of Cultural Heritage big objects. In the framework of these research, she worked both at Bologna University and at INFN (National Institute for Nuclear Physics) of Turin, Italy. In 2011 she became technician at the Department of Physics and Astronomy (DIFA), University of Bologna. She also collaborated to the study of a new system for early breast cancer diagnosis by means of liquid crystals films, the analysis of seismograms for the calibration of neutrino’s experiment, the computed tomography of inner ear and electron beam detectors for intra-operative radiation therapy.
She has taught Physics and Chemistry for restoration at the Fine Arts Academy of Bologna (Institute of Cultural Heritage Restoration) for seven years (from 2004 to 2012).
She currently focuses her research mainly on developing high-performance computing algorithms for applications in medicine and cultural heritage.
She collaborates since 1998 with the INFN, since 2012 to 2020 with Enrico Fermi Center for Study and Research and since 2015 she is a member of TTLAB (INFN Laboratory for Technology Transfer)
In 2008 Rosa received the award by the Italian Association for Archaeometry (AIAR) for a young researcher who has distinguished himself in Archaeometry Sciences.
From 2015 to 2024 she has been responsible for the coordination of specialized laboratories and technical manager of the research unit laboratory of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (DIFA).
In 2022 Rosa achieved the National Scientific qualification as associate in the Italian higher education system, in the call 2021/2023 (Ministerial Decree n. 553/2021 and 589/2021) for the disciplinary field of 02/D1.
Since 2024, Rosa is Associate Professor at the University of Ferrara, Department of Physics and Earth Science, scientific disciplinary sector FIS/07 Applied physics, physics teaching and history of physics. She is a member of the medical physics group at the University of Ferrara, where she studies new algorithms for plethysmography data analysis.
She is co-author of three patents and of over 100 publications, 44 of them in international journals.
