Theoretical and Applied Physics

Petteri Pusa received his PhD from the University of Helsinki, Accelerator Laboratory (2004) in the field of applications of theoretical nuclear physics methods in ion beam analysis targeting in materials science research. He further developed his expertise to study various semiconductor materials, especially for high luminosity experiments in high energy physics. In 2006, he joined University of Liverpool, part of CERN’s ALPHA collaboration as a Team Leader for developing and commissioning of dedicated annihilation detectors for the purpose of this experiment.
