-oscillators. Those research topic have direct application to the

-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.
