Main duties/responsibilities:  Master thesis supervisor, Doctorate thesis supervisor, PI of an INFN CSN5 Call (FRIDA, 1 M€), collaborator of FOOT – INFN experiment, coordinator of the Sapienza unit in the Sapienza – SIT joint effort to develop a TPS for IOeRT standard and FLASH applications.

• Member of the Doctorate scientific board in the Accelerator Doctorate of Sapienza University
• Member of the Specialisation School scientific board in the School of Specialisation in Medical Physics of the Sapienza University.
• Member of the Second-Level Master’s Degree in IONIZING RADIATION PROTECTION [https://masterproradion.web.uniroma1.it/en]
• Since 2023, member of the board of directors of a Sapienza Startup (DARTS s.r.l.) that provides services related to the fast and precise calculus of interactions of ionizing radiation with matter.

Sector: Particle Physics applied to Medicine. In particular, external beam radio therapy with photons, protons, carbon ions and electrons. Member of SAFEST research group for the development and implementation of VHEE delivered both in conventional and FLASH mode in Sapienza.
 

Current Position: Associate Professor – FIS01 / 02 – A1

ASN for PO gained both in FIS01 02/A1 and FIS07 02/D1

Scientific Profile: Member of the Applied Radiation Physics Group of Rome since 2011. Since early 2018 Associated Professor in “Università di Roma - Sapienza”. The main research activities, started in 2010 as a researcher of “Sapienza” with a research assignment from INFN, are related to the application of High Energy Physics Techniques to Particle Therapy, to study both the interaction of the beam particles with the patient, and the related fragmentation of the target and projectile particles, to exploit new ways to deploy an ‘on-line’ monitor of PT treatments and to address the challenge posed by recent FLASH therapy observation. The beam fragmentation studies have been performed within the FIRST (2009 - 2016) and FOOT (ongoing) collaborations and are dedicated to the carbon and proton beam induced fragmentation. As a parallel activity, since 2011 and within the INSIDE and RDH collaborations, the study of the production of secondary particles in the beam interactions with different targets have been carried out. Since 2019 started an activity related also to the planning of particle therapy treatments using electron beams both in the field of deep seated tumors and IOeRT applications. Finally, starting from 2021, A. Sarti has been appointed as PI of the INFN – FRIDA project (a CSN5 call funded with ~ 1M€ budget and 100 participants from all over Italy and international network). Since Nov 2023 is vice-director of the Scuola di Specializzazione in Fisica Medica of the Sapienza Università di Roma.
