Nicolò Cartiglia is Senior Research Scientist at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Italy, and a Visiting Research Scientist, University of California, USA. He has been working at the forefront of experimental high-energy physics since his PhD degree; specifically, focused on detector design, construction and commissioning. He has been member of several large collaborations, based both in Europe and US. He is the principal investigator of several prestigious grants such as a joint US-Italy bilateral grant, an ERC-advanced, and an Italian PRIN.

Marco Mandurrino is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) in Turin, Italy. He joined INFN after his PhD in Electronic Devices as a specialist in silicon particle detector design and modeling. Member of national and international collaborations involved in the R&D of radiation detectors for high-energy physics experiments, from 2018 to 2020 he headed the RSD project, which focused on the development of silicon trackers. He is also lecturer of courses and seminars on numerical simulation of silicon detectors at the Turin University.
