\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
At NIST, I contribute to the Yb optical lattice clock experiments. I
am working to improve the clocks frequency stability by developing a
cryogenic sapphire high-finesse optical cavity for frequency
stabilization of the clocks interrogation laser beyond the thermal
noise limit of state-of-the-art room-temperature optical cavities.

At SYRTE, I realized fiber-based optical frequency combs systems for
optical frequency stability transfer with unprecedented frequency
stability across the optical spectrum and to the microwave domain. 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, as 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 detection \and mechanical
  dissipation \and optical interferometers
\end{dottedlist}

\noindent
At Trento University, my 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 LISA space low-frequency gravitational wave
detector 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 and 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 developed experiments that realized unprecedented performances. I
designed and realized measurement systems, modelling and optimizing
their performances.  I designed and implemented innovative measurement
techniques. I have experience with the redaction of research project
and funding applications. I have successfully participated in large
international collaborations and in smaller focused collaboration. I
participated in industrial and academic collaborations with
outstanding results. I have experience in the interaction with the
aerospace industry. I have co-supervised master and PhD students.

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.
