Research activity description and interest :

My research activity is in the field of observational cosmology. I am currently involved in the Zwicky Transient Facility project (Caltech, Mont Palomar), a systematic survey of the Northern sky using a large field-of-view telescope to detect and follow any transient event. I am involved in calibration issues of the telescope to use type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) to map the early Universe. My main science topics are : SNe Ia standardization procedure (environmental dependency) , Hubble constant anisotropy study, low (ZTF)-redshift and high (other surveys)-redshift combination for dark energy characterization.
