Summary
Loriano Storchi is an Associate Professor and computational scientist with 12+ years of experience bridging chemistry, physics and high-performance computing to deliver optimized simulation software and real-time data processing for scientific experiments. Trained as a chemist (110 cum laude) and PhD researcher, he has parallelized and ported complex codes across MPI, GPU and FPGA platforms, contributing to relativistic DFT implementations, atmospheric and photovoltaic simulations, and gravitational and particle-tracking analyses for INFN and CERN. His work spans system and network administration, cloud and HPC architecture design, and hands-on algorithm implementation—most recently developing a PCA fitter for L1 track finding in CMS and exploring ML approaches for real-time tracking. Comfortable in languages from Python to low-level HPC toolchains, he combines deep domain knowledge with production-grade engineering for scientific instrumentation and commercial cheminformatics. An unconventional thread in his career is frequent switching between academic research, large-scale physics collaborations and industry consulting, which gives him a rare ability to translate cutting-edge research into deployable, high-performance software.
