Mission

I am in charge of the research experimental activities at LRS, including the CROCUS experimental reactor and the LOTUS cavity. I am Deputy of the Head of the nuclear facilities Oskari Pakari, for supporting him in the management of the LRS controlled area in the PH building. Finally, I am contributing to the LRS teaching activities, for the management of the EPFL-ETH Zurich joint program in Nuclear engineering, with the Radiation detection lecture, and especially for the TP and Radiation and reactor experiments at our facilities.

I am one of the four Scientific staff members at the School Assembly, Basic Sciences Faculty Council, and Institute of Physics Council for the current mandate.
After a PhD on the measurement of (p,n) reactions cross sections on small accelerators (IRSN, France), I have worked on the development of neutron detectors and measurement methods for reactor physics (CEA, France). I am part of the LRS staff since October 2014. I have a double affiliation with the Paul Scherrer Institute since 2016, where I defended my tenure in 2020.
