About Me
I am Maurizio Ungaro, a nuclear physicist working in Hall-B at Jefferson Lab. This site collects my research, talks, simulation software, detector work, technical notes, and selected links. It is intended for collaborators, Geant4 and GEMC users, CLAS12 simulation users, and students looking for practical examples. My work connects nuclear physics analysis, detector operations, and simulation infrastructure, with a focus on making Geant4-based workflows easier to build, run, document, and share.
In my free time, I am learning to play hockey while enjoying watching my kid skate much faster than me.
