Summary
Massimo Pinto is a director and research scientist specializing in ionizing radiation dosimetry and metrology, leading Italy’s national institute ENEA-INMRI since December 2024. He has two decades of scientific experience that evolved from radiation biology—studying DNA damage, bystander effects and adaptive responses—to establishing and maintaining primary standards for air kerma and absorbed dose to water. Massimo combines hands-on experimental work with computational expertise using PENELOPE and EGSnrc, plus software development in Python and Visual Studio to control calorimeters and manage metrology data. He has coordinated major European metrology projects, leads international comparisons at the BIPM, and serves as CCRI(I) Deputy Chair, sharing his standards nationally via ACCREDIA-accredited networks. A detail often overlooked: his background in cellular radiobiology gives him a rare ability to bridge fundamental biological effects and the precision measurement needs of clinical and protection dosimetry.
