Research interests
I am working on readout electronics for the Nucleus and Cosinus experiments.
These experiments are looking for rare events using cryogenic detectors (operated at a temperature near absolute zero). It is about Dark Matter in the case of Cosinus at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy; and special properties of neutrinos for Nucleus at the Chooz nuclear power plant in France, where neutrinos are generated in large numbers. Even though the aim of the experiments is different, they use similar setups and instrumentation.
