Biography: The areas of research that Dr. Mascagni's research team work on are parallel and distributed computing, Grid computing, Cloud computing, randomnumber generation, Monte Carlo methods, computational number theory and discrete algorithms, and applications to materials science, biochemistry,electrostatics, and finance.

His hobbies include swimming and biking, which arise from his misspent youth at NYU where he commuted by bicycle and swam each day, andplaying the violin. In fact, he has been the concertmaster of the Big Bend Community Orchestra in Tallahassee and on its Board of Directors, andeven its President and he has played with several orchestras in places like Washington, DC, Salzburg, Austria and Zürich, Switzerland. He is nowalso the President of The Artist Series, which presents professional chamber music concerts to appreciative audiences in the Florida Big Bend, and isfirst violin in Beethoven's Revenge, a string quartet. He has also been an active adult leader in Troop 118 in Tallahassee, and Troop 684 in Zürich, Switzerland, and has been to the International Scout Centre in Kandersteg, Switzerland, and all of the North American BSA High Adventure Bases on challenging treks involving backpacking, canoeing, sailing, and snorkeling.
