Research activity:
From 1993 to 1999:
Development of the Catania Astrophysical Observatory facility for UV CCD characterization.
Electro-optic characterization of CCD detectors.
Participation in the “CCD WORKING GROUP” in the development of the CCD controller for the “Telescopio Nazionale Galileo” TNG and in the CCD’s characterizations.
Implementation of a CCD camera based on SITE 1024X1024 CCD, for the Echelle spectrograph of "Serra La Nave" and development of acquisition software.
Participation in the development of the high-resolution spectrograph for Galileo SARG.
In 1999, I began working in the TNG observatory. My responsibilities include the development and maintenance of CCD detectors and control electronics. At same time, I was collaborating with OACT on various activities.
In this period, I have been working on:
Participation at astronomical activities at TNG
Participation in the commissioning phases of the TNG, OIG and the high-resolution spectrograph SARG.
The study of new generation CCD controller, participation in the realization of the imaging camera OIG for TNG and participation in the development of high-resolution spectro-polarimeter for TNG .
In 2001, as well as my previous responsibilities, I started working as responsible of development and maintenance of the high-resolution spectrograph SARG at TNG.
From 2001 I was involved in the following activities at TNG:
The testing of the prototype of new generation CCD controller and development of its acquisition software.
Development of the new auto-guide system, based on new generation CCD controller, at the TNG.
Development and testing of new detectors (CCD, SPAD, CMOS-APS) and control electronics, at Astrophysical Observatory of Catania (OACT).
Detectors and CCD controller upgrade at TNG and development of a new instrument control system for SARG and Dolores spectrograph.
Responsible of SARG, the High-resolution spectrograph at the TNG, from the beginning of operations to the decommissioning of the instrument .
Participation in the development of X-Shooter spectrograph
Participation of the study of a large robotic telescope Codevisir
Participation in the instrument control system for the European Solar Telescope EST
From 2012 to now the main activities carried out have been:
Responsible of the Instrument Control Unit of PLATO space observatory ESA M3 mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program.
Instrument scientist of the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS-N) spectrograph at the TNG telescope .
Collaboration with the HARPS-N Consortium GTO in the discovery and characterization of terrestrial exoplanets .
Collaboration with GAPS, an Italian national project that investigates several open issues in the field of exoplanetary science by making use of HARPS-N.
Study of a multi-object low resolution spectrograph based on Digital Micromirror Device DMD
Responsible of the detector system of the VIS arm of the SOXS spectrograph, a unique spectroscopic facility for the ESO NTT telescope able to cover the optical and NIR bands.
Collaboration with the INFN and Catania University in the PANDORA experiment, for what concern the implementation of the SARG spectrograph at INFN and regarding the acquisition system, based on CCD detectors.
