Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlessio Mereghetti is an accelerator physicist with over a decade of experience developing and validating high-fidelity simulation tools for beam dynamics and beam–machine interactions, currently applying this expertise at CNAO in Italy. He spent a significant portion of his career at CERN, coordinating development of SixTrack collimation tools, authoring LineBuilder, and integrating Fluka-SixTrack workflows for LHC, HL-LHC and FCC studies. His work blends rigorous numerical modelling, code lifecycle stewardship and hands-on analysis of beam monitor data to ensure predictions align with measurements under operational constraints. Trained to PhD level in particle physics and with a background in nuclear engineering, he emphasizes accuracy, flexibility and user experience in scientific software. Less obvious: he pairs deep radiation-physics simulation experience with practical operational insight from collimation campaigns, making his tools valuable both for research and accelerator operations.
