Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlo Montanari is a C software engineer and applied physicist with 10 years of experience building scientific and control-system software for large-scale physics facilities, currently developing CERN’s FGC4 power-converter controls platform. He holds a PhD in Accelerator Physics and has driven research and HPC simulation efforts on non-linear beam dynamics, diffusive models, and beam-halo characterisation for the HL-LHC. Skilled in Python, C++, and CUDA, he bridges research and production by turning complex simulations and big experimental datasets into reliable, high-performance software. Enthusiastic about AI-enabled workflows, he has applied machine learning to challenging data-analysis problems and proposes novel measurement and faster-simulation techniques used in LHC studies. Based in Geneva, he combines deep domain expertise with hands-on systems engineering across academia and CERN projects.
