Nicola Canale

I’m a Postdoc researcher in experimental physics at INFN. My journey in research has been pretty diverse, much like my life.

While I’ve done all my studies in Ferrara, I’ve had the chance to explore different fields and work with various teams. During my Bachelor’s and Master’s, I worked on gaseous detectors for the BES III experiment, spending several months in Beijing for Qa/Qc work.

For my PhD, I shifted gears to study the electric dipole moment for the JEDI experiment, where I looked into upgrading the polarimeter with a hodoscope.

Now, I’m part of the crystal group, diving into coding, improving my Geant4 simulation skills, and still getting hands-on with crystals and detectors.

What I enjoy most is running beam tests at high-energy facilities like CERN and MAMI. Managing data acquisition, doing quick online analyses, and keeping everything running smoothly under tight deadlines is both exciting and rewarding—it fuels our research for months.

I’m driven by connecting people and ideas, stacking up knowledge to tackle challenges together.
