About
I am an assistant professor of space optics at the Aerospace engineering faculty, TU Delft. I am experienced in optical instrumentation for gravitational wave detectors both in space (LISA mission by ESA) and the ground based (LIGO-Virgo). At the space instrumentation section, I am involved in nulling interferometry for the detection of exoplanets, addressing technical challenges in space interferometry, and contributing to R&D efforts towards optical technology for the Einstein Telescope, Europe’s most advanced underground observatory for gravitational waves (intended).
