My research is in astroparticle physics, using techniques from particle physics to answer fundamental questions about our Universe. I worked in several projects for dark matter searches in Canada at SNOLAB underground laboratory for PICASSO experiment, in France at LSM (Labortatoire Souterrain de Modane) for EDELWEISS experiment and in Italy at the LNGS ( Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) for XENON1T experiment.
I have a broad expertise in multiple detection techniques such as superheated liquids, ultra-pure germanium detectors at mK temperatures and with the world’s largest double phase xenon TPC.
I lead a physics program for rare event searches for the PICO, DEAP-3600 which are installed at SNOLAB, Ontario. I also joined the NEWS-G experiment installed in LSM (Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane) an underground laboratory between France and Italy. My principal interest concerns the development of technologies based on innovative ideas with multiple applications in order to extract new physics processes. I am currently building a new detector in my lab that combines the bubble chamber technology and scintillation light: The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC).
