Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Menarini is a Senior Researcher with eight years of experience at the intersection of photonics, high-performance numerical simulation, and physical modeling, applying these skills to both unconventional optical computing and climate-oriented atmospheric retrievals. He designs and implements scalable, physics-informed algorithms for reconfigurable photonic devices and phase-change materials, and has translated numerical optimization advances into experimental analog-computing prototypes and memcomputing architectures. Concurrently he develops rigorous radiative-transfer and ray-tracing frameworks for limb-sounding satellite applications, contributing code and methods now being integrated into the Geofit Broadband forward model. His work blends first-principles modeling with machine-learning-informed approximations to preserve physical consistency while accelerating retrievals, and he regularly performs systematic benchmarking to validate model fidelity. Based in Italy, he brings a rare combination of hands-on high-performance implementation, experimental translation, and interdisciplinary collaboration spanning academia and national research institutes.
