About

Federica Marone is a leading figure in synchrotron-based X-ray imaging, renowned for her transformative contributions to high-throughput tomographic microscopy and its application across materials science and geophysics. As a key scientist at the TOMCAT beamline of the Swiss Light Source, she spearheaded the development of a fully automated, high-speed tomography system capable of acquiring full 3D datasets in just 5–10 minutes, with voxel sizes ranging from 0.37 to 7.4 µm and an energy range of 8–45 keV. This breakthrough, detailed in her highly cited 2011 work (37 citations), revolutionized the field by enabling rapid, non-destructive imaging of dynamic processes. Her research has illuminated critical phenomena, such as the microstructure evolution during hydrate formation and dissociation (30 citations), and advanced the characterization of fiber-reinforced composites through innovative X-ray scattering tensor tomography (25 citations). Marone’s work has had a profound impact, bridging fundamental science and industrial applications, from aerospace to automotive engineering. Her achievements underscore her role as a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of synchrotron imaging, making complex microstructural analysis accessible and efficient for researchers worldwide.
