His career has evolved from research to radiation safety, and now back to his roots in medical physics, a field that first captured his interest as a student in Italy. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Riccardo currently drives global radiation safety initiatives at Elekta. Beyond work, Riccardo is a father, a stepfather, and enjoys writing popular science articles about physics and radiation. \n\nEpisode 155 of our Education and Workforce Development series (part 53).\n\nCPD:\nWork through the IAEA Radiation Safety Culture Trait Talks Workbook and complete the reflective sections. https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/21/01/radiation-safety-culture-trait-talks.pdf\nComplete this form for your accredited digital badge: Digital Badge Form.\n\nLinks from the Episode:\nIAEA.
