Dr Anna Villevalde joined the Ionizing Radiation Department as a dosimetry physicist in April 2024.

Before joining the BIPM, Dr Villevalde worked at the D.I. Mendeleyev Institute for Metrology (VNIIM) since 2006 as a researcher responsible for primary standards in ionizing radiation dosimetry, focusing on low- and medium-energy x-rays, gamma rays and brachytherapy. She actively contributed to the Consultative Committee for Ionizing Radiation (CCRI) Section I and the CCRI Communication Working Group, representing COOMET. Additionally, she served as the technical secretary of COOMET's Technical Committee for Ionizing Radiation since 2015 and as the dosimetry activity coordinator since 2021.

In her new role at the BIPM, Dr Villevalde will oversee all key comparisons and calibrations in x-ray dosimetry, continuing the legacy of excellence established by her predecessor, Dr David Burns.
