Dr. DAVIDE BRIVIO, BWH, United States
Dr. Davide Brivio is an accomplished physicist specializing in radiation oncology physics. Born in Carate Brianza (MB), Italy, he embarked on his academic journey at the Università degli Studi di Milano (University of Milan), where he earned his B.Sc. in Physics in 2006, followed by an M.Sc. in Physics in 2008 under the guidance of advisors Nicola Piovella and Robin Kaiser. He further advanced his expertise by obtaining a Ph.D. in Physics in 2012, mentored by Dr. Cialdi Simone. After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Brivio pursued postdoctoral training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, where he served as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Radiation Oncology Physics from 2013 to 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Piotr Zygmanski. His dedication to the field led him to complete a Medical Physics Residency in Radiation Oncology Physics from 2019 to 2022, directed by Dr. Yulia Lyatskaya, with Dr. Zygmanski as his research advisor.
