I lead the scientific direction of the Numerical Simulations Group, focusing on advancing laser interferometry measurements.I am the manager of the Low-Frequency Control Work-Package for the European Einstein Telescope Project.I am a member of the Development Team for Finesse, the leading Python tool for optical simulations in gravitational wave detector.

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

I completed my PhD in Physics at Nikhef, in collaboration with VU University Amsterdam and the University of Birmingham. My research focused on advancing laser-interferometric precision measurements using numerical simulations. The primary tool I used for these simulations was Finesse, a Python-based tool for which I am part of the development.

I spent the first two years of my PhD at the University of Birmingham and approximately one year as a visiting researcher at the European Gravitational Observatory in Cascina (PI), Italy.My project initially focused on experimental work in the laboratory, where I aimed to build a system of strongly coupled optical cavities in combination with a.

Pasadena, California, United States

My work involved detailed computational modeling and analysis to understand the dislocation dynamics and their impact on the material properties of maraging steel blades.This position was highly competitive, with only four spots available across all universities in Italy.
