I am an experimental physicist who spent the past years participating in developing the brand-new AML immersion hood. I did cover different roles within the project, first analyst, and then as been the architect. In my current position as Immersion System Engineer, I am involved in the latestest immersion scanners, mainly focusing on defectivity aspects. Furthermore, throughout my career, I aspire to continue to learn, keep up-to-date, and stay in touch with technological development. I would really like to work in a stimulating international environment, where I will have the opportunity to meet people of many different nationalities and cultures.

I was involved in a project where I built an experimental set-up for the production of a degenerated quantum gas (Bose-Einstein Condensation) for the study of Bragg reflection of matter waves by optical lattice. In this project, I designed and built the optical and the vacuum system needed to obtain the degenerated quantum gas, with two more researchers, and I was co-supervisor of two starting PhD students in the experiment.
During this period I was the main investigator and person in charge of experimental side of a project conducted on ultra-cold atoms. The research subject was the study of the interaction of a guided atom laser, a coherent matter wave made by very cold atoms (Bose-Einstein Condensation), with an external optical potential. I was the main investigator and responsible for the experimental side: data taking and data analysis. Moreover, I participated to the numerical simulation of the experimental system writing numerical codes on FORTRAN.
Title of the thesis: “Manipulation of a Large Magneto-Optical Trap: Application to Four-Wave Mixing.” Detailed experimental investigation of size and density scaling laws for large Magneto-Optical Traps; Proposition of a theoretical model which introduces new mechanical interactions induced by the repump-light when the optical thickness of the atoms became important; Realization of a pump-prove technique to observe the Four-Wave Mixing signal and its characterization suitable for gain production in the atomic sample; analyzing the florescence signal (using photomultiplier or photo-diode detector). The characterization of the number of atoms trapped (and its density), are made by taking images of the atomic cloud into a Charge-Coupled- Devices (CCD).
Realization of a Dye Laser, used to excite the two photon transition, presents on the frequency spectrum of Rubidium atoms, to develop a new detection technique.
