Daniele MASSARO

Task 1.5, 1.7

I am a software developer, and I am working in the field of Monte Carlo simulation software, like MadGraph.

In my work, I am focusing on the optimisation and hardware acceleration of such software, using advanced programming techniques, like GPU programming, CPU vectorisation, performance studies and profiling.

I have a PhD in theoretical physics, where I studied Beyond Standard Model scenarios (mainly related to dark matter and light dark sectors), using simulations to understand their signatures within various experiments.

I am a strong supporter of Free and Open Source Software, and an avid Linux user, I enjoy spending my time in the terminal.

I am a big motorsport fan, I like especially Formula 1 and endurance racing. I am a huge Ferrari supporter.

I am fond of science communication and outreach, I am a guide for several CERN sites, and I am the co-host of the Italian podcast “Chiacchiere da h-bar” (hosted on Spotify) aimed at communicating physics concepts in a simple way.
