ESCAPE - The European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle Physics ESFRI Research Infrastructures has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement no. 824064.
Giovanni Lamanna holds an experimental sub-nuclear physics PhD and he is a researcher at CNRS in France since 2003. Giovanni Lamanna took office as director of the LAPP laboratory in 2015.
His main research interests are in the interfaces between Particle Physics and Astrophysics, on fundamental subjects such as dark-matter search, matter-antimatter asymmetry problem, cosmic-rays origin and high- energy phenomena in the Universe. His experimental activities concern the development of advanced research instrumentation and data processing methods.
Giovanni contributions are in the context of large international collaborations such as CMS, AMS, ANTARES, H.E.S.S., CTA and FCC. He is author/co-author of more than 250 scientific publications, proceeding of conferences, technical reports.
Giovanni Lamanna has been involved in the conception and preparation of the CTA Observatory, serving as coordinator of the Data-Management project, and having a leading role in the design and construction of the first Large Size Telescope (LST-1) deployed at La Palma Island.
He provided several contributions in the combined context of « Research, Data, Algorithms and Computing » for particle and astroparticle physics on issues concerning optimal and efficient large-scale data analysis and data management. Giovanni is the coordinator of the H2020 ESCAPE project.
Giovanni is concerned and active in the context of science and technological innovation policy for society.
