\section{Current research activity and interests}
\begin{dottedlist}
  frequency metrology \and ultra-stable lasers \and optical lattice
  clocks \and optical frequency combs \and low phase-noise photonic
  microwave generation \and laser frequency stabilization \and phase
  noise characterization \and optical frequency transfer
\end{dottedlist}

\noindent

I contribute to the NIST Yb optical lattice clock experiments. I am
developing a cryogenic high-finesse optical cavity for the
stabilization of the optical clock interrogation laser. I am designing
a high-finesse multi-color optical cavity for the stabilization of the
other lasers involved in the experiment.

At SYRTE, I realized fiber-based optical frequency combs systems for
optical frequency stability transfer across the optical spectrum and
to the microwave domain with unprecedented frequency stability. I
participated in the development of a digital phasemeter used for phase
noise characterization with unprecedented sensitivity via
cross-spectrum analysis. I was responsible for the operation of the
optical frequency combs involved in local optical and microwave clock
comparisons, and well as in the long distance clock comparisons
through optical fiber network.  I collaborated in the setup of the
frequency metrology chain involved in those experiments.

\section{Previous research activity}
\begin{dottedlist}
  force metrology \and torsion pendulums \and macroscopic free-falling
  test masses \and gravitational waves \and mechanical dissipation
  \and optical interferometers
\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. I conducted on-ground measurement
of small force disturbances acting on the free-falling test masses of
the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna space low-frequency
gravitational wave detector -- LISA -- and its precursor mission LISA
Pathfinder, exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a torsion
pendulum.

I performed the experimental activity, I developed data analysis
routines, I designed and implemented upgrades to the torsion pendulum
system, improving its sensitivity, pushing the limits of small force
metrology.  I lead the initial development of a low-noise torsion
pendulum angular position read-out based on an heterodyne
wavefront-sensing interferometer with nanoradian sensitivity. I
collaborated to the development of the LTPDA Matlab Toolbox.

\section{Skills and competences}

I have experience with the redaction of research project and grant
applications, I have successfully participated in international
collaborations, and I have co-supervised master and PhD students.  I
developed experiments that realized unprecedented performances. I
developed and analyzed several measurement systems, modelling and
optimizing their performances.  I designed innovative measurement
techniques.

I have extensive working experience with optical frequency combs,
ultra-stable lasers, high-finesse optical cavities, free-space and
fiber optical systems, very low noise audio-frequency,
radio-frequency, and microwave electronics, software-defined radios,
ultra-high vacuum systems, precision mechanics, data acquisition
hardware and software, computer controlled experiments.

I developed data analysis methods and numerical simulations. I am
proficient programming in C, C\texttt{++}, Python, Perl, Matlab, and
LabView, with specific experience in scientific computing and data
analysis.  I have designed and realized real-time data acquisition and
processing, and I have knowledge of real-time programming techniques.
I master and routinely take advantage of modern software development
techniques and 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, Mac~OS~X, and Microsoft Windows computing
environments. I have good knowledge of the LaTeX typesetting system.
