He is currently working in the development of the ASAP Instrument (Altimetric and Scatterometric Applications of PARIS), an engineering model of a PARIS type instrument for a future space-mission.
PARIS (PAssive Reflectometry and Interferometry System) is a new concept of altimeter/scatterometer invented at the European Space Agency, which consists of using the GPS signals reflected at the Earth's surface to study the surface's properties.
He is also involved in the development of new data analysis methods of PARIS type data.
His background lays on the development and analysis of interferometric radiometers such as MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis). His major achievements are the contribution to different aspects of the calibration and operation of MIRAS and the hardware and software development of the Small Airborne MIRAS' control system. This prototype instrument will contribute to the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity Mission (SMOS) of the European Space Agency during the pre-launch and comissioning phase.
