About me
The gamma-ray telescope INTEGRAL observes the most energetic objects in the sky, such black-holes and neutron star in the act of forming or when they swallow immense quantities of gas.
I am at the head of the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre (ISDC), which monitored the scientific quality of data, serves the archive to guest observes, and distributes the software to analyze INTEGRAL data.
My main research interests are search of electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events, accretion onto stellar size neutron stars and black-holes, cosmic rays and clusters of galaxies. In 2016, I wrote a resume of what I had done in my research in this document. Since then, I extended my activities:
- I am leading the Geneva participation to the Astrophysics Centre for Multi-messenger studies in Europe (ACME), and infra-Serv European project.
- I am the project manager of the Swiss participation to the UVEX mission, an Ultra-Violet telescope to be flown by NASA in 2030.
- I am chair of the New-Athena working group 5 on multi-messenger astronomy.
- I was project manager of the Astro-ORDAS project, a Swiss Open-Research data initiative.
