Marco Pallavicini

Marco Pallavicini is a Full Professor at the University of Genoa's Department of Physics (DIFI), specializing in experimental physics of fundamental interactions. He is a key member of major international collaborations including Borexino, CUORE, DarkSide, DUNE, and ICARUS. His roles include participation in the Consiglio direttivo (Directors' Council) of DIFI.

His research focuses on neutrino physics, dark matter detection, and advanced detector technologies. Notable projects include the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment (focusing on cryogenics and argon purity), CUORE's search for neutrinoless double-beta decay, and DUNE's neutrino oscillation and proton decay studies at Fermilab. He also contributes to Borexino's analysis of solar neutrinos and astrophysical phenomena.

Publications highlight innovations in liquid argon TPCs, neutron detection materials, and data-driven background modeling. His work spans experimental design, particle detection algorithms, and international accelerator collaborations such as Fermilab upgrades for DUNE.
