NBN Award 2024 for BEC expert Dr Caterina Brusasco
During the NBN Thank You Event held on 28 November 2024, Dr Caterina Brusasco, one of BEC’s senior experts, received the NBN award for large companies.
Dr Brusasco got her PhD in Physics in the field of particle therapy for the treatment of cancer in fundamental research in Italy and Germany. She has been working in applied development in IBA since 2001.
In 2009 IEC launched a project for radiotherapy based on particle therapy as a particular standard of the IEC 60601 family. Since IBA was one of the few industrial actors in that field, Dr Brusasco became one of the leading experts in the standardization activities for radiotherapy. Since then, she continued participating in several standardization committees at national, European and worldwide level. She also took the lead inside IBA in promoting the use of standards in support of conformity to regulations.
Currently, Dr Brusasco is IBA’s “Technical Standards and Regulations Manager”, heading up a cross functional team, composed of subject matter experts on standards and technical regulations in support of development and processes. She is also the manager of IBA internal accredited CTF laboratory in the IECEE scheme.
At BEC, Dr Brusasco is Chairing Committees 45 and 62 and representing BEC in the corresponding IEC committees.
In her free time, Dr Brusasco is following a training in engraving in the academy of Art in Wavre. She is also a passionate mountain climber.
