SUMMARY:
My prime interests are detectors and astronomy instrumentation for space application. In the years that I have worked in engineering and research, I have built a strong background in electronic instrumentation from DC to microwave frequency. I'm interested in innovative ideas on physics and microwave circuitry. I have knowledge in the design and calibration, as well as extensive experience using vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, lock-in amplifiers and signal generators, for the characterization of different kind of sensors.
I have also worked with different cryogenic techniques (He-3, He-4 continuous flow and closed cycle cryostats). Most recently, I'm developing a new cryogenic system for cosmology down to 100mK, where it is required adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR).
So, I would like to summarize that I have worked in a variety of projects and technology areas (e.g. space detection, wireless applications, magnetic sensors, instrumentation, etc.), which allowed me to have a strong background in new technologies at theoretical and practical level.
