Research activity

Since 2004 I'm working on the development of high order Adaptive Optics systems for ground based telescopes.
I'm specialized in natural guide star AO systems and pyramid wavefront sensor.

The main projects I'm currently involved are:

SOUL: Single conjugated adaptive Optics Upgrade for the

MAVIS : MCAO Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope

NGWS: the Natural Guidestar Wavefront Sensor for the Giant Magellan Telecope

The main past projects:

FLAO: First Light Adaptive Optics of the Large Binocular Telescope

AO system for the Large Binocular Interferometer

(collaboration with the Arizona University - USA)
Magellan Adaptive Optics system

(collaboration with the Steward Observatory - USA)

High Order Testbench (Opticon - JRA1 collaboration with ESO)

Active Phasing Experiment (WP4600 ELT Design Study - FP6)
