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
