Claudia Scatigno is an experimental chemist and applied physicist to the Materials Science (Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Heritage and Landscape) and Environment Safety (macro-microenvironment).  Her research focuses on the Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy (TOSCA beamline) at the pulsed ISIS neutron facilities (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory – Didcot, UK), Multivariate Data Analysis and Neutrons Simulation. She is part also of the VESPA project (instrumental development, benchmarks individuating).

Research

Since 2008 CS is a Conservation Scientist for the preservation of Cultural Heritage. She carried out numerous surveys of monitoring study on famous confined and microclimatic environments (churches, museums, archaeological sites, libraries, art galleries, indoor and outdoor exhibition areas). She also an expert on spectroscopy techniques (Raman and XRF) and into the data analysis with chemometric techniques. Since 2016 she is in the register of the MIBACT as restorer. She collaborated with DICEA, the Department of Civil, Constructional and Environmental Engineering (University of Rome “La Sapienza”) in geophysical and geochemistry analysis, awarding 2 Ateneo grant (2015 and 2016). During her Joint Doctorate research, she awarded 3 grants for her jointly supervised doctoral thesis by UPV/EHU and by Erasmus+ (Student Mobility for Traineeship). She was speaker in some National and International Congress.
Their currently activities are focused on Inelastic neutron spectroscopy and gamma ray spectroscopy at pulsed neutron sources (STFC – Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot – UK). She is involved in the upgrade of the secondary spectrometer for TOSCA and the design of VESPA (the vibrational spectrometer for ESS), that involves the joining partner STFC (UK), CNR and Nast Centre (IT). In detail on the development INS instrumentation simulation tool, dataset analysis with chemometric tools (Principal Component Analysis) and quantitative benchmarking of vibrational neutron spectrometer. She is performed some experimental proposal at ISIS, UK (TOSCA and VESUVIO beamlines).
