As Scientific Group Leader of the group "microanalyses" in the Nuclear Safety Fuel Unit at JRC he was involved in radiation damage studies and in microstructural analyses of nuclear materials (mainly using electron microscopy) particularly on the effects of rare gas formation and defect interaction in nuclear materials. His activities are also related to the ageing of spent nuclear fuel and to post-irradiation examinations of irradiated fuels
