Short biography

Sushil Sharma is an assistant professor at the Marian Smoluchowski Institute of Physics, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland. He obtained his PhD with distinction in 2016 from Jagiellonian University, with a thesis on validation of spallation models. His research spans medical imaging, fundamental physics, antimatter studies, and detector development. He is a senior member of the J-PET collaboration, contributing to the development of the world’s first PET scanner based on plastic scintillators, and a member of the AEgIS collaboration at CERN, where he participates in the experiments on antiproton/antihydrogen annihilation vertex reconstruction. He serves as Associate Editor of EJNMMI Physics (Springer, IF: 3.2) and is the principal investigator of an NCN SONATA BIS grant on Inertial sensing of positronium atoms for gravitational studies of matter-antimatter systems. He has co-authored over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles in journals including Science Advances, Nature Communications, and Medical Physics, with over 2,700 citations (h-index: 24). He is currently an auxilliary supervisor of six PhD students. His work has been recognised with multiple awards, including a Rector’s Individual Award for scientific achievements, an INFN fellowship, and grant from the National Science Centre (NCN).
