Summary
Marilena Bandieramonte is a Simulation Coordinator and senior researcher with 12 years of experience building high-performance Monte Carlo simulation code for the High Energy Physics community. Based in Meyrin, Geneva, she leads simulation efforts for the ATLAS experiment and chairs the Geant4 Technical Forum, combining technical stewardship with scientific leadership. Her work spans C++, parallel computing, vectorization (SSE/AVX/AVX512), MPI/OpenMP and tooling for validation and regression testing, rooted in a Ph.D. in Physics from Università di Catania. She has a track record of turning research R&D into production-grade libraries—contributing vectorized geometry and electromagnetic physics code for GeantV/Geant4 and VecGeom. Beyond HEP, her background includes scientific visualization, distributed systems research and bio-inspired scheduling algorithms, reflecting a rare mix of low-level optimization and high-level system design. Colleagues rely on her for rigorous validation frameworks and pragmatic choices that bridge physics accuracy and compute efficiency.
