+\noindent
+My research focuses on the limits for achieving near perfect free-fall
+of macroscopic test masses for the observation of gravitational
+waves. In particular 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, including the development of data
+analysis routines for the extraction of stochastic and coherent small
+force signals.  Concurrently my work also aims at improving the
+sensitivity of the torsion pendulum apparatus itself, pushing the
+current limits for small force metrology. Currently my efforts are
+directed mainly toward 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
+development of the LTPDA Matlab Toolbox for the LISA Pathfinder data
+analysis, with particular attention to the relational database data
+storage component.
+
+\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, Perl, Matlab, and
+LabView, with specific experience in scientific computing and data
+analysis.  I have experience in real-time data acquisition and
+processing, and I have knowledge of the basic techniques for real-time
+programming.  I master and routinely take advantage of 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 and Microsoft Windows computing environments. I have good
+knowledge of the LaTeX typesetting system.
