\noindent
My work concerns exploiting the femto-Newton level sensitivity of a
torsion pendulum for the on-ground measurement of small force
disturbances on the test masses of the Laser Interferometer Space
Antenna -- LISA -- space low-frequency gravitational wave detector.
Concurrently I work for improving the sensitivity of the torsion
pendulum apparatus itself, pushing the current limits for small force
metrology, also with the realization of a low noise torsion pendulum
angular position read-out based on an heterodyne wavefront-sensing
interferometer with nanoradian sensitivity.

\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.  I'm fluent
programming in C, C\texttt{++}, Python, Matlab, with specific
experience in scientific computing and data analysis.  I have
experience in real-time data acquisition and processing.
