Giulia Festa is an experimental physicist. She leads the Physics for Cultural Heritage Laboratory at CREF. She studies, through chemical-physical techniques, archaeological findings such as ceramics, metals, papers, inks, and bones. Current activities focus on a combination of portable instrumentation and consolidated experience in the use of Large-Scale Facilities, together with advanced statistical methods such as Machine Learning. She is co-editor of the first monograph about neutron methods applied to archaeology and cultural heritage.
Claudia Scatigno is a researcher specializing in experimental physics and analytical chemistry. Her current research focuses on material characterization using advanced spectroscopic techniques integrated with machine learning and deep learning methods with a focus on nutritional systems. She has developed and applied machine learning algorithms in materials science, spectroscopy, and environmental studies. From 2017 to 2020, she worked on inelastic neutron spectroscopy, focusing on hydrogen detection limits.
