Primary activity: My research activity includes both development of innovative laser sources through interactions in quadratic nonlinear media, and their application in quantum optics and high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. My current work is devoted to frequency comb formation in second-order nonlinear cavities, generation of squeezed states of light, nonclassical interferometry, precision spectroscopy with cold stable molecules.

Main experiences acquired: Nonlinear and Quantum Optics; Molecular Spectroscopy; Laser Interferometry.
