Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSébastien Curtoni is a medical physics resident and applied physicist with 21 years of experience bridging particle-detector R&D, instrumentation software, and medical accelerator projects. He has led detector development and LabVIEW control systems for high-time-resolution PET and diamond hodoscopes during a PhD and postdoc, and recently managed the FlashDEEP VHEE radiotherapy accelerator programme as a technical project manager. Based in Marseille, he combines hands-on experimental work—beam tests, detector integration, and control-command interfaces—with data analysis in C++/ROOT and Python. An active open-source contributor, he improved visualization in the widely used astropy library by adding instrument beam and scale-bar features to WCSAxes, reflecting attention to both code quality and documentation. Colleagues value his ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams and translate complex physics instrumentation challenges into operational systems.
