Research Interest: my scientific ineterests consist in photo detection, their development and characterisation and their associated electronics. My main expertise is on cryogenic detectors such as Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) and is currently working on Transition Edge Sensors as well. I have previously worked on fast, highly sensitive, silicon-based photo-detectors within the Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium.
While currently working within the LiteBIRD collaboration and the BULLKID experiment, I have also provided work in the scope of the ARIEL Space Mission consortium.
