Dr. Marilia I. Savva works at the Institute of Nuclear and Radiological Sciences, Technology, Energy & Safety at NCSR ‘Demokritos’, Athens, Greece, since 2017, initially as a Post-doctoral researcher at the Fusion Technology Group, working for the European Project of Thermonuclear Fusion (EUROfusion) and later as a Technical Scientific Personnel at the Nuclear Research Reactor Laboratory, focusing on experimental measurements and neutronic calculations, neutron activation analysis experiments and gamma spectrometry.

Her scientific interests include also computations studies using Monte Carlo techniques for the simulation of radiation fields. She is the main author or co-author of 22 publications in scientific journals, 21 contributions in conference proceedings and 13 technical reports.

She graduated from the School of Mechanical Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens in 2009 and she obtained her PhD from the same University in 2017 entitled “Development and implementation of techniques for the determination of very low activities of radioactive trace elements in environmental samples”. For her research she received the 1st Metrology Award from the HellasLab Association.
