Alexei Sytov

I am a permanent researcher at INFN Ferrara Division. I obtained my PhD degree in Physics in 2018 at the University of Ferrara (in experimental physics) and at the Belarusian State University (in theoretical physics).

In 2021-2025 I was a PI of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Global Fellowships project TRILLION (GA 101032975). It is dedicated to the implementation of physics and specific applications of electromagnetic processes in oriented crystals and nanostructures into Geant4 simulation toolkit to bring them to a large scientific and industrial community and under a free Geant4 license.

The work has broad implications, supporting applications in accelerator physics, high-energy and nuclear physics, radiotherapy, cosmic ray detectors (such as gamma-ray space telescopes), and dark matter searches. Moreover, my research interests have extended to plasma wakefield acceleration in crystals and nanostructures, exploring innovative approaches to particle acceleration and advanced materials, which becomes my main field now.

With many years of expertise in High-Performance Computing (HPC), I have led several supercomputing projects at CINECA, gaining extensive experience in large-scale simulations and computational optimization.

I also have a long track record of participation in beam tests at particle accelerators and in-depth data analysis, bringing together experimental and computational expertise. Currently, I also serve as Deputy Coordinator of the Electromagnetic Physics group, Geant4 Collaboration.
