About Me

I completed my MPhys at the University of Perugia in 2016. For my MPhys thesis project, I worked on the development of a new method for performing single neutron counting measurements with CCD and CMOS cameras under the supervision of Dr. Mutti in the Instrument Control Service at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL).

My PhD involved a Warwick/ILL project studying the experimental properties of Skyrmions using neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy techniques, under the joint supervision of Prof. Don Paul (Warwick) and Dr Robert Cubitt (ILL).

I was based at ILL in the Large Structures Group.

Current Role

Marta is currently working as a post doc at NPM2 at TU - DelftLink opens in a new window.
