Antonio Bulgheroni is a Project Leader in the European Commission – Joint Research Centre (JRC), in the Waste and Irradiated Compounds Unit of the Nuclear Safety and Security Directorate, located in Karlsruhe, Germany. His main focal points are the microstructural characterisation of spent fuel and waste forms using microscopy and micro-sampling techniques, and the development and nuclearization of innovative methods for the analysis of “hard-to-measure” radionuclides. Currently, he is contributing to the adaptation of a laser-based spectroscopic technique for the precise determination of 14C concentration in decommissioning waste compounds. He holds a PhD in Physics (2005, Università degli Studi di Milano). He was post-graduate visiting scientist at CERN (2005-2009) for the development of novel and innovative radiation detectors to be used in research environments (mainly for high energy physics experiments) and in applied fields such as medical imaging. In 2009, he joined the JRC at the Ispra site, where he worked as a cyclotron engineer; he later became responsible for the design and implementation of a dedicated software toolbox for controlling and managing all radiological and radioprotection instruments monitoring the whole site. In 2013, he joined the JRC Karlsruhe Unit.
