SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ACTIVITY
From 2002 to 2006 I've been part of the MAP (Mesoscale Alpine Programme) community during my PhD thesis at the Aerology Laboratory of Toulouse (France). During my thesis I helped developing, implementing and validating the parametrization of a new category of hydrometeor (the hail category) inside the microphysical scheme of a mesoscale meteorological model (the Meso-NH research model).

This parametrization is now part of the Meso-NH model as a routine and can be activated at will by the user. In May 2006 I won a post-doctoral position as experienced researcher in a Marie Curie Excellence Grant project, the FOROT (forecast of optical turbulence) project lead by Dr. Elena Masciadri, at the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri at Florence (Italy). I've been in charge of the installation and development of the Meso-NH model at the observatory of Arcetri. I've proceeded to the implementation of the Astro-MesoNH package (for optical turbulence forecasting) in the Meso-NH model on different workstations and supercomputers. I've also parallelized part of the code to allow for the use of multiprocessing numerical computations. I've focused my research activity during this period on the characterization of the optical turbulence at different astronomical sites (Dome C, Dome A and South Pole in Antarctica and the LBT site of Mount Graham in Arizona) using the Astro-Meso-NH package, as certified by many published articles. My research activity lead to the publication of 5 papers as first author and 5 as co-author for a total of 10 articles on international peer-reviewed journals, and 26 papers on non peer-reviewed journals or conference proceedings.
