Research Fellows

DR. MARIACHIARA CARESTIA, PhD

Born in 1984, I hold a Master Degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology, and achieved the Master of Philosophy in “Protection against CBRN events” from the University of Rome Tor Vergata.

Currently, I am serving as research fellow at the University of Rome Tor Vergata where my research activities are focused on:

the EU founded project “CBRN Integrated Response Italy” where I am one of the contributors. The project, conducted in collaboration with Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa and Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco, is aimed at building and testing an integrated CBRN response capability of first responders and law enforcement agencies in Italy.

the “BIO-F” project. A multidisciplinary project for the development of a device for the detection of atmospheric releases of biological warfare agents, exploiting the induced fluorescence features of biological agents. Other information concerning my activities on CBRNe:

In 2013 I attended the “Introduction to the International CBRN Training Curriculum Course” held by the Joint CBRN Defence COE, while in 2014 I participated, as lecturer, at the “Bio Warfare Defence Awareness Course” held by the NATO School of Oberammergau.

I’m lecturer, and part of the Didactic Management Unit, of the international master courses in “Protection against CBRNe events”.

DR. RICCARDO QUARANTA

Riccardo Quaranta holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. He attended successfully the first edition of the 2nd Level International Master Course in "Protection against CBRNE events" in 2010. At the same time, he cooperated with the Quantum Electronics and Plasma Physics Research Group of the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. During this period, he took part in research activities in the field of numerical simulations applied to the safety of experimental nuclear fusion facilities and CBRNe safety. He co-authored several scientific papers published on Italian and international journals and presented the work of the group at international conferences, on behalf of the University of Rome Tor Vergata.

He has extensive international experience as he studied for a semester in Finland and lived and worked in Australia and Thailand, where he was full time Physics and Mathematics teacher for the students of an English Program High School near Bangkok.

After his 4-year experience in Thailand, Riccardo has recently moved back to Italy and joined again the QEP Research Group as tutor and supporting secretary of the International Master Course in "Protection against CBRNE events" and he is member of the SICC 2017 LOC.
