About me

I’m an argentinian instrumentalist living in France.

I develop instruments using low temperature detectors for the observation of the cosmic microwave background and for X-ray astronomy. I’m a CNRS research engineer at Astroparticules et Cosmologie, specilized in the development of ultra-low noise readout electronics for superconductor detectors. Today, I work mainly for the CMB-S4 observatory and the X-IFU instrument of ESA’s space mission ATHENA.

I earned my master and PhD at the Balseiro Institue in Bariloche, Argentina. For my master, I worked for the Pierre Auger ultra-high energy cosmic ray observatory. I developed, characterized and deployed the first prototypes of Auger’s scintillator detectors. In my PhD I worked on the growth and characterization of optical devices based on III-V semiconductor hetero-structures. For this, I installed and operated a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) equipment.

My first contact with APC was related to the QUBIC instrument, conceived to observe the polarization of the CMB in search of the elusive B-modes.
