+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. I collaborate to the
+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.
