Luca Quaglia
Luca is a post-doc in the Torino ALICE group and is currently also employed as an academic guest at ETH Zurich. He is a specialist in the MID gas system and a member of PWG-DQ. He defended his thesis in April 2023 on the development of eco-friendly gas mixtures for Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), and he is currently the ALICE representative for the EcoGas@GIF++ collaboration and a member of the DRD1 collaboration. Moreover, he is in charge of a service-work task to extract the MID efficiencies and store the results in the CCDB, to improve the accuracy of the Monte Carlo simulations. Luca has also been one of the ALICE Junior Representatives between March 2022 and July 2024, and therefore was a member of the Collaboration Board.
As far as operations at Point 2 are concerned, Luca is a very experienced Shift Leader and Run Manager, having already covered many shifts and RM blocks in Run 3.
During his mandate this year, he will follow the start of this year’s Pb-Pb data taking, with the intensity ramp-up.
