Lucia PopescuHead of Unit Proton Target Research at SCK•CEN
Lucia Popescu graduated from the faculty of physics at Bucharest university, Romania. In 2005, she obtained a PhD in physics at Ghent university in Belgium. Her doctoral studies have been focused on the nuclear structure of several isotopes of Co, Ni and Cu. After a short post-doc in Groningen the Netherlands, Lucia returned to Belgium in 2007, as researcher at SCK•CEN, in Mol. Since 2010, she is in charge with ISOL@MYRRHA: a part of the MYRRHA project dedicated to the production of mass-separated radioisotopes extracted on-line.
