%% \section{Current research activity and interests}
%% \begin{dottedlist} 
%%   High precision frequency metrology \and Ultra-stable lasers \and
%%   Optical frequency combs \and Low-noise photonic microwave generation
%%   \and Optical clocks
%% \end{dottedlist}

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

%% \section{Previous relevant research activity}
%% \begin{dottedlist} 
%%   High precision force metrology \and High sensitivity torsion
%%   pendulums \and Sources of force noise on geodesic reference
%%   macroscopic test masses \and Dissipation mechanisms in mechanical
%%   experiments \and Optical interferometry
%% \end{dottedlist}

%% \noindent
%% My previous research activity focused on the study of the limits for
%% achieving near perfect free-fall of macroscopic test masses for the
%% observation of gravitational waves. In particular, I contributed to
%% the on-ground measurement of small force disturbances on the test
%% masses of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna space low-frequency
%% gravitational wave detector -- LISA -- and its precoursor mission LISA
%% Pathfinder, exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a torsion
%% pendulum. My work work included the experimental activity, the
%% development of data analysis routines for the extraction of stochastic
%% and coherent small force signals, and, concurrently it also aimed at
%% improving the sensitivity of the torsion pendulum apparatus itself,
%% pushing the current limits for small force metrology.  I lead the
%% initial effort for the realization of a low-noise torsion pendulum
%% angular position read-out based on an heterodyne wavefront-sensing
%% interferometer with nanoradian sensitivity, applying some of the LISA
%% Pathfinder interferometer techniques. I collaborated to the
%% development of the LTPDA Matlab Toolbox for the LISA Pathfinder data
%% analysis, with particular attention to the relational database data
%% storage component.

%% \section{Skills and competences}

%% I have experience in designing and analyzing experiments and
%% measurement techniques, with the particular attention to detail and
%% sources of uncertainty required in high precision measurements. I have
%% experience with the design, setup and operation of precise mechanical
%% apparatuses, low noise electronics, high precision optical systems,
%% data acquisition hardware and software, computer controlled
%% experiments, and high vacuum systems, as well as with the development
%% of data analysis methods and numerical simulations. More recently I
%% acquired competences in the operation of fiber-based optical frequency
%% combs, ultra-stable laser stabilised on high-finesse optical cavities,
%% frequency and phase noise characterisation, and radio-frequency
%% electronics.

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