Biography:
Alessandro Bartoloni, after earned his MSc in electronics engineering, joined the INFN in 1992, working at on developing supercomputers for theoretical physics numerical simulations. Later, he took part in the construction of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the experiments that observed a new particle consistent with the predicted Higgs boson. For several years (1999-2011), he was a Lecturer at the Sapienza University of Rome, responsible for courses on a computer science subject. Since 2000, he has been in the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer collaboration (AMS). His current principal fields of interest are Cosmic Rays Physics, Space Radiation Science, and Space Radiobiology.
