Dra. Gabriela Beatriz Grad

Dr. Gabriela Beatriz Grad is an Argentine materials-physics researcher at the National University of Córdoba. Her work links first-principles electronic-structure calculations, using DFT with the Full-Potential LAPW method, to X-ray spectroscopy: she has modeled absorption and emission spectra of semiconductors and oxides such as ZnO, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, MgO and GaN, and computed binding energies of pure metals. A second line addresses applied radiation physics, including the measurement of natural radioactivity by gamma spectrometry, synchrotron X-ray fluorescence, and the reconstruction of linear-accelerator spectra through neural networks for dosimetry. Her profile aligns with the materials-physics and applications focus of CEFMA 2026.
