Background

About Marco Rocchini

A Researcher in Nuclear Physics working on γ-ray spectroscopy and nuclear structure with experience in data analysis, software development, semiconductor devices, and Monte Carlo simulations. My research activity currently focuses on experimental studies of nuclear structure, particularly shape-related phenomena, and their relevance in quantum systems, fundamental interaction physics, and astrophysics. I exploit various γ-ray spectroscopy methods for this activity and different kinds of neutral/charged particle detectors. I have experience with large HPGe arrays (e.g, GALILEO, GRIFFIN, AGATA, GRETINA, Miniball, EAGLE), segmented particle detectors, scintillators, spectrographs, and Si(Li) detectors for internal conversion electrons. I took part in several experiments over the years, in many international nuclear physics laboratories. Also, I am involved in developing new instrumentation and experimental techniques. I have been the principal investigator and/or spokesperson of more than 10 experiments at laboratories in Italy, the US, Canada, France, Germany, and Poland. I publish my work in top scientific journals in my field and I have been a speaker at more than 20 international conferences and workshops, with about 30% of invited talks. An aspect of my job that I love is working every day with people from all around the globe with extremely diverse backgrounds and identities. Also, I am passionate about making complex, difficult things easy and accessible to everybody. For this reason, I love teaching and outreach activities.
