M. Bertaina

Mario Edoardo Bertaina received the master’s degree in physics from the University of Turin, Turin, Italy, in 1993, and the Ph.D. degree in geophysics from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 1997. He was a Researcher with the Physics Department, University of Turin, from 2006 to 2015, a Contract Researcher and a JSPS Fellow at RIKEN, Saitama, Japan, from 2003 to 2006, and a Post-Doctoral Student with the University of Turin, Institute of Cosmo-Geophysics, National Research Council, Turin, and the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA, from 1997 to 2003. Since 2015, he has been an Associate Professor with the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, Physics Department, University of Turin, where he teaches probability and statistics, and space science physics. He is currently a Global Analysis Coordinator of the Japanese Experiment Module-Extreme Universe Space Observatory (JEM-EUSO) Program. He has co-authored over 100 publications on refereed journals, with an H-index of 28 (Web of Science). His research interests include the domain of cosmic ray science and its interconnection with other disciplines, taking part in international collaborations, such as EAS-TOP, KASCADE-Grande, Pierre Auger, and JEM-EUSO, with the duty of studying energy spectrum, mass composition, and arrival direction of cosmic rays with energies in the range 1014–1020 eV. Dr. Bertaina received the Award of Outstanding Reviewer for Astroparticle Physics journal (recognition given to the top 10th percentile of reviewers for the journal) in 2016.
