Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuna Pellegri is an Associate Professor and experimental nuclear physicist with 11 years of research and teaching experience focused on collective motions in neutron-rich nuclei and γ-ray spectroscopy. She leads and manages major experiments at iThemba LABS studying the Pygmy Dipole Resonance—work that links nuclear structure to astrophysical phenomena like the r-process and neutron-star equations of state. Luna combines hands-on detector development and data-acquisition software (C/C++ and ROOT) with project leadership, having overseen gamma spectroscopy systems and served as principal investigator on multiple campaigns. She is an experienced mentor and educator, teaching nuclear reactions and supervising MSc/PhD students, and brings a rare blend of experimental technique, instrumentation optimisation, and computational analysis to fundamental questions about element formation.
