Summary
Giovanni Organtini is a professor and experimental particle physicist with 30+ years of R&D experience in electromagnetic calorimeters, contributing to the CMS discovery of the Higgs boson and the design, construction and operation of its e.m. calorimeter. He combines deep hardware expertise (detectors, industrial automation, device drivers) with software strengths in C/C++, C, Perl and Python, distributed computing, data acquisition and Linux systems. An experienced educator and author, he wrote university-level textbooks on scientific programming and Arduino-based physics experiments and promotes innovation in physics education through smartphone and IoT tools. He is active in open source and science outreach—cofounder of the FISICAST podcast and a leading promoter of the smartphysicslab.org community. Less obvious: he bridges high-energy physics and practical IoT/education applications, using Arduino and Raspberry Pi as measurement platforms to bring advanced experimental techniques into classrooms. Based in Rome, he maintains long-term roles at Sapienza, INFN and within the CMS collaboration at CERN.
