Bio
Maurizio Ungaro is a Staff Scientist in Hall-B at Jefferson Lab. His work connects nuclear physics analysis, detector systems, and simulation infrastructure. He develops and supports Geant4-based simulation workflows, GEMC, CLAS12 simulation releases, Open Science Grid production workflows, and technical documentation for users.
His detector work includes the CLAS12 Low Threshold Cherenkov Counter, with responsibilities in operation, maintenance, calibration, and detector performance. His research focuses on nucleon structure, meson electro-production, resonance-region analyses, and the transition between hadronic and partonic degrees of freedom.
Earlier and collaborative work includes experiments at SPring-8 in Japan and participation in the Heavy Photon Search collaboration at Jefferson Lab.
