| 7 | 76 My research activity focuses on the exploitation fiber-based optical |
| 77 frequency combs systems for the transfer of the frequency stability of | |
| 78 ultra-stable lasers to other wavelengths in the optical domain and to | |
| 79 the microwave domain. Amnong other applications, the aim is to | |
| 80 generate high stability optical and microwave signals to probe the | |
| 81 atomic fountan clocks and the optical lattice clocks at SYRTE. | |
| 3 | 82 |
| 7 | 83 In the optical domain we recently realized and an optical frequency |
| 84 stability transfer scheme based on an optical frequency comb capable | |
| 85 of transferring frequency stability exceeding the thermal noise limit | |
| 86 of state-of-the-art high-finesse optical cavities. In the microwave | |
| 87 domain the solution implemented in my laboraotry is already capable to | |
| 88 compete with the stability of state-of-the-art cryogenic sapphire | |
| 89 oscillators. My research aims at further improving the phase noise of | |
| 90 the generated microwave signal by exploring new optical frequency comb | |
| 91 and photo-detection technologies. | |
| 92 | |
| 93 I am also responsible for the operation of the femtosecond combs for | |
| 94 the characterization the ultra-stable laser developed at SYRTE and for | |
| 95 the comparison of the different optical and microwave clocks operated | |
| 96 at SYRTE with stability and accuracy not limited by the stability of | |
| 97 the optical frequency comb setup. | |

| 102 pendulums \and Sources of force noise on geodesic reference | |
| 103 macroscopic test masses \and Dissipation mechanisms in mechanical | |
| 104 experiments \and Optical interferometry | |
| 105 \end{dottedlist} | |
| 106 | |
| 107 \noindent | |
| 108 My previous research activity focused on the study of the limits for | |
| 109 achieving near perfect free-fall of macroscopic test masses for the | |
| 110 observation of gravitational waves. In particular, I contributed to | |
| 111 the on-ground measurement of small force disturbances on the test | |
| 112 masses of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna space low-frequency | |
| 7 | 113 gravitational wave detector -- LISA -- and its precursor mission LISA |
| 3 | 114 Pathfinder, exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a torsion |
| 7 | 115 pendulum. |
| 116 | |
| 117 My work work included the experimental activity, the development of | |
| 118 data analysis routines for the extraction of stochastic and coherent | |
| 119 small force signals, and, concurrently it also aimed at improving the | |
| 120 sensitivity of the torsion pendulum apparatus itself, pushing the | |
| 121 current limits for small force metrology. I lead the initial effort | |
| 122 for the realisation of a low-noise torsion pendulum angular position | |
| 123 read-out based on an heterodyne wavefront-sensing interferometer with | |
| 124 nanoradian sensitivity, applying some of the LISA Pathfinder | |
| 125 interferometer techniques. I collaborated to the development of the | |
| 126 LTPDA Matlab Toolbox for the LISA Pathfinder data analysis, with | |
| 127 particular attention to the relational database data storage | |
| 128 component. | |

| 130 \section{Skills and competences} | |
| 131 | |
| 7 | 132 I have experience in designing and analysing experiments and |
| 0 | 133 measurement techniques, with the particular attention to detail and |
| 134 sources of uncertainty required in high precision measurements. I have | |
| 135 experience with the design, setup and operation of precise mechanical | |
| 136 apparatuses, low noise electronics, high precision optical systems, | |
| 137 data acquisition hardware and software, computer controlled | |
| 138 experiments, and high vacuum systems, as well as with the development | |
| 3 | 139 of data analysis methods and numerical simulations. More recently I |
| 140 acquired competences in the operation of fiber-based optical frequency | |
| 141 combs, ultra-stable laser stabilised on high-finesse optical cavities, | |
| 7 | 142 frequency and phase noise characterization, radio-frequency and |
| 143 microwave electronics, and software-defined radio. | |
| 0 | 144 |
| 7 | 145 I am proficient programming in C, C\texttt{++}, Python, Perl, Matlab, |
| 146 and LabView, with specific experience in scientific computing and data | |
| 0 | 147 analysis. I have experience in real-time data acquisition and |
| 7 | 148 processing, and I have knowledge of real-time programming techniques. |
| 149 I master and routinely take advantage of modern software development | |
| 150 techniques and version control systems. I'm passionate about Free | |
| 151 Software and I contribute to several Free Software projects. I have | |
| 152 experience in system administration of GNU-Linux systems and I'm | |
| 153 comfortable working in Unix, Mac~OS~X, and Microsoft Windows computing | |
| 154 environments. I have good knowledge of the LaTeX typesetting system. | |
