Research Interests
The apparent absence of antimatter in the Universe indicates that there is something fundamentally missing in our current understanding. Using magnetically confined antihydrogen (which is the simplest anti-atom, made of an anti-proton and a positron), I search for differences with respect to ordinary matter, both in the electromagnetic and gravitational sectors, with the ALPHA apparatus at CERN In my research I apply nuclear and particle physics techniques to the study of cold antihydrogen. In particular, I work with tracking detector and photosensors to make the best possible measurement of the property of antihydrogen.
Recently, I embarked on a new project at TRIUMF, called HAICU, to develop the next generation of antihydrogen experiments, using hydrogen as a proxy.
