Bio

My scientific career covers the study of Nuclear and Particle Physics detectors, the analysis of nuclear reactions with exotic nuclei offering access to information on nuclear structure and their reaction dynamics and the development of computer frameworks for the simulation, data acquisition and data analysis. After my doctoral work about to the instrumentation of the HADES experiment at GSI, devoted to the observation of the leptonic decay of vector resonances (ρ, ω, φ) produced in high density heavy ion collisions, I was focused on the production and direct reaction with exotic nuclei, and fission studies. Recently, I have worked on the analysis of quasi-elastic reactions either with exotic nuclei or inducing fission and the development of analysis tools for calorimetry and active targets detectors. I have been the main author of the conceptual design and the simulations leading to the definition of the CALIFA detector, a calorimeter made of 2544 CsI(Tl) crystals, with a total cost above 5 million euros, recently installed and commissioned for the R3B experiment at FAIR. My scientific-technical achievements comprehend the contribution to the publication of more than 260 scientific papers, with more than 4000 total cites and a mean of ~250 cites/year in the last 5 years. Close to 100 papers belong to publications in the first quartile, to render a h index of 34 in SCOPUS and 40 in Google Scholar (October 2024).
