PROFILE

Dcasazza

Worked on the DUNE/sandreco repository to enhance Monte Carlo matching, clustering, and reconstruction workflows for detector simulation. Developed new C++ data structures and integrated ROOT to enable detailed property tracking and improve simulation fidelity. Refactored cluster recovery algorithms to handle incomplete cells and introduced geometry-driven calculations for more accurate hit reconstruction. Updated the SANDClustering API to incorporate geometry information, supporting more reliable clustering and classification by cell type. Focused on data analysis, numerical stability, and code maintainability, these contributions improved reconstruction accuracy, data provenance, and downstream physics analyses, reducing post-processing rework and supporting robust software development practices.
