Research interests

My main areas of research concern Experimental Cosmology and development of novel technologies for astronomical instrumentation.I am involved in the following experimental activities:

  1. detection and characterization of the polarization properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation
  2. radio detection of ultra high energy neutrinos interacting with the Moon surface
  3. radio detection of axions

I am also involved in the following technology activities:

  1. development of high frequency cryogenic low noise amplifiers
  2. development of novel electron-beam lithography techniques
  3. design and construction of improved sub-Kelvin cryogenic refrigerators to be used in astronomical instruments
  4. development of novel quasi-optical interferometers
