Francesca Albertini completed her bachelor degree in Physic and the Master of Science (MSc) in Nuclear Physic at the University of Milano in 2002. During the Post-Graduated study as Medical Physics she started the trainee as clinical medical physicist in nuclear medicine in Milano, at the Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori of Milano. In 2004 she moved to Switzerland, where she completed her trainee in radiotherapy at the Center for Proton Therapy at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). She was lucky enough to have the possibility to combine a PhD on evaluating and estimating the effect of uncertainties for actively scanned proton therapy while working as clinical medical physicist at PSI. Since February 2011, when she obtained her PhD in Physic at the ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) Zurich, she coordinated the advancement of the in-house developed treatment planning clinically used at PSI. As such, research activities have been concentrated around advanced treatment planning approaches, proton therapy workflow and QA. In the past 8 years, her main interest focuses on the on-line adaptive proton therapy workflow. Currently, she is the scientific coordinator of the European H2020-MSCA-ITN RAPTOR (Real-time Adaptive Particle Therapy Of canceR) consortium aiming to bring online adaptive therapy to the clinic. She is the author or co-author of over 50 peer reviewed papers and articles and have contributed to 4 scientific books.
