66 My current research activity focuses on the exploitation fiber-based
|
|
|
67 optical frequency combs systems for the transfer of frequency
|
|
|
68 stability from ultra-stable lasers to different wavelengths in the
|
|
|
69 optical domain or to the microwave domain. In the optical domain, my
|
|
|
70 work aims at improving the state-of-the-art optical frequency
|
|
|
71 stability transfer solutions to make them suitable for transferring
|
|
|
72 frequency stability exceeding the thermal noise limit of high-finesse
|
|
|
73 optical cavities. In the microwave domain, my work aims at developing
|
|
|
74 solutions for microwaves generation with short-term frequency
|
|
|
75 stability beyond the one of state-of-the-art cryogenic
|
|
|
76 oscillators. Those research topic have direct application to the
|
|
|
77 operation and development of atomic and optical frequency clocks at
|
|
|
78 SYRTE.

89 My previous research activity focused on the study of the limits for
|
|
|
90 achieving near perfect free-fall of macroscopic test masses for the
|
|
|
91 observation of gravitational waves. In particular, I contributed to
|
|
|
92 the on-ground measurement of small force disturbances on the test
|
|
|
93 masses of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna space low-frequency
|
|
|
94 gravitational wave detector -- LISA -- and its precoursor mission LISA
|
|
|
95 Pathfinder, exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a torsion
|
|
|
96 pendulum. My work work included the experimental activity, the
|
|
|
97 development of data analysis routines for the extraction of stochastic
|
|
|
98 and coherent small force signals, and, concurrently it also aimed at
|
|
|
99 improving the sensitivity of the torsion pendulum apparatus itself,
|
|
|
100 pushing the current limits for small force metrology. I lead the
|
|
|
101 initial effort for the realization of a low-noise torsion pendulum
|
|

|
102 angular position read-out based on an heterodyne wavefront-sensing
|
|

|
103 interferometer with nanoradian sensitivity, applying some of the LISA
|
|
|
104 Pathfinder interferometer techniques. I collaborated to the
|
|
0
|
105 development of the LTPDA Matlab Toolbox for the LISA Pathfinder data
|
|
|
106 analysis, with particular attention to the relational database data
|
|
|
107 storage component.

109 \section{Skills and competences}
|
|
|
110
|
|
|
111 I have experience in designing and analyzing experiments and
|
|
|
112 measurement techniques, with the particular attention to detail and
|
|
|
113 sources of uncertainty required in high precision measurements. I have
|
|
|
114 experience with the design, setup and operation of precise mechanical
|
|
|
115 apparatuses, low noise electronics, high precision optical systems,
|
|
|
116 data acquisition hardware and software, computer controlled
|
|
|
117 experiments, and high vacuum systems, as well as with the development
|
|
3
|
118 of data analysis methods and numerical simulations. More recently I
|
|
|
119 acquired competences in the operation of fiber-based optical frequency
|
|
|
120 combs, ultra-stable laser stabilised on high-finesse optical cavities,
|
|
|
121 frequency and phase noise characterisation, and radio-frequency
|
|
|
122 electronics.

|
123
|
|
|
124 I'm fluent programming in C, C\texttt{++}, Python, Perl, Matlab, and
|
|
|
125 LabView, with specific experience in scientific computing and data
|
|
|
126 analysis. I have experience in real-time data acquisition and
|
|
|
127 processing, and I have knowledge of the basic techniques for real-time
|
|
|
128 programming. I master and routinely take advantage of version control
|
|
|
129 systems. I'm passionate about Free Software and I contribute to
|
|
|
130 several Free Software projects. I have experience in system
|
|
|
131 administration of GNU-Linux systems and I'm comfortable working in
|
|
|
132 Unix and Microsoft Windows computing environments. I have good
|
|
|
133 knowledge of the LaTeX typesetting system.
