    Euclid Instrument operations scientist

     

    Main Research Fields

    My main research interest is in scientific instrumentation for the optical and short-wavelength infra-red (SWIR) wavelength regimes, and especially in its corresponding detector system technology. In particular:

    • CCD and CMOS detector and detector system technology
    • SWIR detector and detector system technology
    • Novel detectors and applications in space
    • Radiation effects on detectors in space
    • Detector operation modes and optimisation techniques
    • Optical and SWIR instrumentation and supporting technology
    • Instrumentation and observation techniques for Exo-planet detection

    Keywords

    • CCD and CMOS
    • SWIR detectors
    • Instrumentation and observation techniques
    • Exo-planets

    Ongoing collaborations

    • Gaia SOC calibration team
    • ESA Cross-mission collaborations with Euclid, Ariel, Gaia, PLATO, CHEOPS
    • Science detector test facilities at ESTEC
