Board of Directors



Anadi Canepa

President, president@arpico.org

Anadi Canepa  is a Research Scientist at TRIUMF, Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics. She is an experimental particle physicist and works for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of Geneva, Switzerland. Anadi obtained her PhD at Purdue University (IN, USA) with her work on searches for Supersymmetry in proton-antiproton data at the Tevatron Collider. Her current area of research is New Phenomena such as Supersymmetry and Extra-dimensions at the energy frontier.



Alice Miceli

Vice president, info@arpico.org

Alice Miceli is a postdoctoral research associate at the Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, TRIUMF, located in Vancouver. She earned a doctoral degree in Physics from the University of Bologna for her studies on new 3D computer tomography systems at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research (Zurich, Switzerland). She is currently working on the development of new detectors for medical imaging.



Costanza Casiraghi

secretary@arpico.org

Costanza Casiraghi is a PhD candidate in the department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She is currently studying the role of viral infections as triggers of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. She is originally from Milan, Italy where she obtained her BSc degree in Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies in 2007 from Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele.

Franco Mammarella

Franco Mammarella is the Group Leader for the ARIEL Infrastructures and Power Engineering Group  at the Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics, TRIUMF, located in Vancouver. He has a degree in Nuclear Power  Engineering  from the University of Rome, Italy. His current work  focuses on  leading the Civil and Infrastructures  team for the ARIEL project , TRIUMF's flagship facility that plans  to expand Canada's capabilities to produce and study isotopes for physics and medicine.



Damiano Angoli

admin@arpico.org

Damiano Angoli (University of Milan) carried out his degree in Biology with Professor Enzo Wanke at the University of Milan where he examined the effects of intracellular pH on cell apoptosis. A visit to Vancouver, following an invitation, convinced Damiano to take himself and his piano to the west coast of Canada. Now he  works at University of British Columbia for the Cardiovascuolar Research Group, multi-tasking pacemaker channel researcher, piano player, wine connosseur, importer/exporter, web designer and he dove 50 metres deep in the cold ocean with one breath, a skill that is very useful in the lab.



Claudio Erratico

Claudio Erratico is  PhD candidate at The University of British Columbia (Vancouver). He obtained his Master of Science  degree in Environmental Sciences at "The University of Milano-Bicocca" (Milan-Italy). Claudio's current area of research is in vitro investigation of P450-mediated metabolism of envronmental pollutants. Metabolism is considered a key factor in determining and, therefore, explaining bioaccumulation and toxicity of environmental pollutants both in humans and wildlife.



Nicola Fameli

I am a biophysicist in the Departement of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology and Therapeutics of the University of British Columbia (UBC). I spend most of my working time developing computational models of ionic transport in cytosolic nanospaces, very small spaces sandwiched between membranes inside our cells, without which cells don't work very well and can get diseased. I moved from Venice, Italy to Vancouver to pursue graduate studies in physics at UBC on something rather unrelated to biology.
