Daniele MARTELLO

Daniele MARTELLO is Full Professor of Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics at the University of Salento’s Department of Mathematics and Physics "Ennio De Giorgi" and, since 2019, Director of the Lecce Section of INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare). He also represents the University of Salento in the National Supercomputing Center and the MAD project (Additive Metamorphosis of Design).

Education

• 1988 – Summer Student, CERN
• July 1990 – Degree in Physics, University of Lecce
• 1990-1994 – PhD in Physics, University of Bari

Research Interests

Prof. Martello’s work lies at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics and computational science. His main areas are cosmic-ray physics and gamma-ray astronomy, where he studies high-energy phenomena and cosmic messengers arriving from space. He develops advanced statistical and data-analysis techniques required for large-scale astroparticle experiments and applies computational physics methods to model complex detector systems and Monte-Carlo simulations.

Although the document does not list individual publications, the attached file indicates an extensive record of peer-reviewed articles spanning cosmic-ray detectors, gamma-ray telescopes and statistical methodologies.

Academic & Professional Service

• Director, INFN Lecce Section (since 2019)
• University contact for the National Supercomputing Center (since 2022)
• University contact for the MAD project (since 2023)

Laboratories & Teams

The Lecce INFN group under his direction participates in large international collaborations in astroparticle physics and operates state-of-the-art computing facilities linked to the National Supercomputing Center.
