Experimental physics researcher in the field of atomic physics and quantum information for more than 10 years. Participated in very different types of experiments during my career. I am particularly interested in the new uses and opportunities that the development of quantum technologies can bring to the world. I wish to pursue my career in innovative development R+D projects that can bring solutions to the problems of the world.
Working now on the Atom Trap Trace Analysis (ATTA) system, this is a state‐of‐the‐art apparatus for measuring noble gas radioisotope concentrations to better than parts per trillion. By using laser and detection methods at the atomic level, such as laser cooling or magneto-optical trap ATTA is one of the most sensible systems to trace atoms from the environment.
ATTA has a direct impact on the community by enabling groundwater systems to be fully understood. Increasing water‐use efficiency of underground freshwater or forecasting the spread of a contaminant in groundwater in long-short time scales. another emerging application of ATTA is nuclear monitoring since the tracers can be produced by the manipulation of radioactive materials.
