Marco Verzocchi

After doing my Ph.D. at CERN working on the OPAL experiment, I moved to Fermilab in 2001 where I've worked first on the D0 experiment, then on CMS, and I finally joined DUNE in September 2017. I started to work for Fermilab in July 2005, and I am currently a senior scientist in the Neutrino Division. I've always worked on electroweak physics (4-fermion production at LEP, electroweak boson measurements and Higgs searches at Tevatron), and I have been physics coordinator for D0 between 2009 and 2012. I am currently working on the electronics for the APA readout (I am the technical lead of the Single Phase TPC electronics), but in the past I've worked on both hardware and software (I was run coordinator for OPAL, I worked on all levels of the D0 trigger, including being the trigger board chair, I have led the construction of the pixel detector for the CMS Phase 1 upgrade, I have put bugs - or removed them - almost everywhere in the OPAL and D0 software).  I have had management position of one type or another (convener of hardware, algorithm, or physics groups, L2 or L3 manager positions for DOE projects, ....) in all experiments. In addition, on D0 I was elected (and then chaired) the advisory council to the spokespeople. All these positions have required understanding all the different points of view of the members of the collaborations and mediating among them. I think this has prepared me for being one of the IB representatives of the Fermilab group. This is a position that I think requires being able to understand and to represent to the institutional board (and the spokespeople) and highlight all the complex contributions of the Fermilab group to the program of DUNE. This includes connecting with all the members of the Fermilab group on DUNE, from the young postdocs, to the more senior and experienced ones.
