Primary activity: Atmospheric spectroscopy, study of the Earth’s radiation budget and the climate system. Development of Fourier transform spectrometers (FTS) operating in the mid and the far infrared (FIR) spectral regions and their application in field campaigns from remote sites (Stratospheric balloons, high-altitude ground-based sites, Antarctica). Chairman of Mission Advisory Group (MAG) of the ESA Earth-Explorer-9 FORUM mission (https://www.forum-ee9.eu/).

Main experiences acquired: Fourier transform spectroscopy, development and application of optical instrumentation in field experiments, integrated optics.
