Educational Qualifications:

I graduated with a doctoral degree in physics (astrophysics section) at the University of Trieste on April 17, 1993 with a 1^st class pass (110/110).

My thesis was entitled "Acquisition and real-time processing of large format astronomical images" and supervised by Prof. Giorgio Sedmak, Director of the Astronomical Observatory of Trieste, and Dr. Andrea Balestra.
In this work a complete transputer based, real-time system has been developed to manage the whole chain of operations from acquisition of CCD images to quick-look, both in on-site observations and in remote observations. The system is able to read a CCD image, display it on a local monitor and/or lossy-compress the data sending it to a remote station for quick-look. Display and compression are performed by a transputer network. The former operation is managed by a graphic transputer module, whilst the compression, based on a fast DCT algorithm implemented for this thesis, is managed by a network of transputers. Both geometric and farming parallel architecture have been tested. Occam and C code was produced and compared.

The sub-thesis, entitled "Deduction, without statistical analysis, of the impossibility of local hidden variables models", was supervised by Prof. Giancarlo Ghirardi, Director of the Department of Theoretical Physics of the University of Trieste, and concerned about fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics.

General Description of my work at ESO:

From September 1, 1993 I have been working at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in Garching bei Muenchen (Germany).

• I started with a "Payed Associate" contract, in the Electronic Department/Software Group of the VLT Division
• From November 1, 1995 I have an "International Staff Member" contract as Software Engineer.
• From 1996 to 2011 I have been the Lead Software Engineer of the "Optical Detector Team" (ODT) in the Instrumentation Division (INS).
• From 2011 to 2014, I have been member of the "Control Instrument Software" Department in the "Software Development Division" (SDD)
• 2014 to present, I am a member of the "Instrument Control Software Group" (CINS) in the "Control Software & Engineering" (CSE) Department of the "Directorate of Engineering" (DoE)

Other activities at ESO:

• From 1999 to 2004 I have been elected twice in the Staff Committee Garching.
• From 2002 to 2004 I have been the Chairman of the Staff Association of ESO.
• From 2012 to 2017 I have been the Ombudsman of the SDD (2012-2015) and the DoE (2015-2017).
• From 2015 to 2016 I have been the Harassment Contact Person of the DoE.
• Since 2012 I am Chair of the "Rehabilitation Board"
• Since 2019 I am a member of the "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee"

1993-1996:

• I worked on the development of the 1^st generation of the VLT (Very Large Telescope) CCD Control System, the so called "ACE CCD Controller". This controller is distributed on three platforms:
  • a workstation (with Unix operating system) for the interface with the user,
  • a VMEbus based Local Control Unit - LCU (with VxWorks real time operating system) for the real time control operations,
  • an Array Control Electronics - ACE (based on a network of four T805-T225-T222 transputers and a DSP Motorola 56001) for the CCD electronics control.
  In particular I wrote the programs for the LCU (C code) and the ACE (occam2 code).
• I participated in the upgrade of the ESO VxWorks driver for the IMS B016 VMEbus board and in the definition and implementation of the Interface Software for both the VLT Scientific and Technical CCDs, acquiring knowledge of interfacing both with the workstation software and with the VMEbus and CCD controller hardware.
• I had also the responsibility for checking the software part of the ESO-Jena Optronick GmbH (Daimler-Benz Aerospace) contract for the Technical CCDs (transputer occam2 code, Motorola 56001 DSP C code, LCU C code and test procedures).
• I have been a member of the teams which - in 1995 and 1996 - successfully tested and installed the ACE CCD control system on the EMMI instrument at the New Technology Telescope (NTT) in La Silla (Chile).

1996-2003:

• From the middle 1996 I have been working on the development of FIERA (Fast Imager Electronic Readout Assembly), the new ESO CCD Controller, whose goal is to operate scientific CCD chips or mosaics with readout speeds up to 5 megapixels/sec/port, for a maximum total rate of 50 megapixels/sec.
  FIERA is based on a SPARC CPU and two TMS320C40 DSPs, and replaces the LCU-ACE levels of the previous CCD Control System. Therefore the FIERA Control Software is distributed on:
  
  • a workstation (with HP-UX operating system) for the interface with the user,
  • the FIERA SPARC (with Solaris operating system) for the coordination of the exposure operations,
  • the FIERA DSPs for the real time control operations.
  In particular I have written the code (libraries and programs) for the FIERA DSPs (3LC parallel C and TMS320C40 assembler). In addition, I have contributed to the code for SPARC workstation, writing programs, upgrading the 3LC driver for the DSP board and taking care of the operating system managment. I also wrote some code for the HP workstation, mainly configuration routines.
• I have been a member of many of the teams which successfully tested and installed the FIERA CCD control system on the several instruments of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Cerro Paranal (Chile), starting from the VLT CCD Test Camera, which was used in May 25-26, 1998 for the VLT first light.
• I also worked on particular applications like
  
  • HIT (High Time resolution operations), a new technique of operating CCDs devices, which requires a time accuracy at the order of nanosec (see article1 and article2)
    
  • NAOS (Nasmyth Adaptive Optics System), where very fast and low-noise readout of the CCD is required
    
  • OMEGACAM, a 16Kx16K CCD mosaic camera for the VLT Survey Telescope (VST).
• Actually the FIERA CCD control system is in operation on several instruments in the La Silla station (on the EFOSC2 camera of the NTT, on the HARPS camera of the 3.6m telescope, on the 8Kx8K Wide Field Imager mosaic, the GROND and the FEROS cameras of the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope).
• The FIERA-based CCD control system is also in operation on the VLT Observatory for FORS, FLAMES/GIRAFFE, OMEGACAM, UVES, X-Shooter. (It was used also in MAD, NAOS, and VIMOS, which have been decommissioned)

2004-2020:

• In the first years of the XXI century I have been working on the development of NGC (New General detector Controller), the new ESO CCD Controller for optical and infrared detectors. In particular I have developed the optical Detector Control Software (NGCOPT).
• The NGC Detector control system for the optical instruments is in operation on the VLT Observatory on for MUSE, ESPRESSO, ZIMPOL/SPHERE,
• I have been a member of the team which commissioned ESPRESSO at the VLT.
• In the team which worked on the upgrade of CRIRES to CRIRES+ I was responsible for the detector and instrument software. CRIRES+ is the "CRyogenic high-resolution InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph". I participated in the Commissioning 1 phase at the telescope (January 2020) and in the remote Commissionig 2 phase (due to the Covid pandemic, this was the first time ever that an instrument was commissioned remotely from Garching, in January 2021).
• I have also developed the control software for "Pulpo 2", the housekeeping unit for controlling the shutter, and also the temperature and pressure of the cryostat of the optical instruments.

2020-now:

• I am still developing NGCOPT for the new optical instruments of the VLT (MOONS) and VISTA (4MOST)
• In parallel I am supporting the development of the optical part of NGCII, the new generation of the NGC detector controller.
• The first instrument which will work in the ELT environment (i.e., the software environment under development for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the new 40m-class telescope which is being constructed at Cerro Armazones in Chile) will be FORS-Upgrade, which will also be the first instrument using NGCII.

Software knowledge:

• Operating systems: Unix (HP-UX, Solaris, Linux), VxWorks, MS-DOS, Windows.
• Programming Languages: C, C++, occam2, inmos and 3LC parallel C, TMS320C40 DSP assembler, Unix shells (born, bash, cshell, tcshell), Python, Makefile.
