 About Me

I’m Mauri, a physicist working in Hall-B at Jefferson Lab.

My research is focused on the internal structure and dynamics of the nucleon,
in particular the physics beyond the constituent quark model and the link between
form factors and dressed quark mass (see for example the N → Δ(1232) transition
and the meson electro-production at high Q2 analyses).

I work on the Refurbishment, Operation / Maintenance / Calibration of the
Low Threshold Cherenkov Counter detector in Hall-B.

I am developing the GEMC Geant4 simulation framework and the CLAS12 Simulations,
including Web Submissions to the Open Science Grid (OSG), see for example our
CLAS12 Project accounting,

Most recently I joined the Geant4 collaboration with the purpose of supporting it at JLab.

In my free time I am learning to play hockey, while watching my kid learning it
much faster than me.
