His main scientific interests are the design and realization of spectrometers and monochromators for the extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectral regions for laboratory and space applications, the generation and applications of ultrashort femtosecond and attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet, the development of instrumentation for free-electron laser radiation, the industrial applications of techniques related to applied optics, mainly laser spectroscopy for gas detection.
He has been responsible of the optical design and realization of instrumentation for photon handling of ultrafast pulses that are presently in operations worldwide using high-order laser harmonics. Presently, he is participating to several projects funded by national and international institutions in the field of ultrafast optics for femtosecond and attosecond pulses.
