Didactic activity: I participate at the graduation thesis on physics at the University of Florence of the student David Cinotti in 2002. Scientific and work activity: Graduation thesis at the Istituto Nazionale di Ottica from April 1999 to April 2000; parallel to the experimental work of the thesis [A], I participate to experiments for the characterization of chaotic dynamics in a CO2 laser with large Fresnell number. [1,2]. Scientific collaboration with the Istituto Nazionale di Ottica from April 2000 a September 2000 for the study of synchronization problems in a Chaotic CO2 laser [3]. Pre-Doc Fellowship at the Istituto Nazionale di Ottica Applicata in the framework of the European project "Control, Synchronization and Characterization of Spatially Extended Nonlinear Systems" (HPRN-CT-2000-00158) from September 2000 to September 2003. - I participate at the preparation of the project Azione Integrata Italia-Spagna Sincronizzazione e controllo in sistemi ottici nonlineari approved for the years 2002-2003 (IT853), and the Azione Integrata Italia-Spagna Controllo e Sincronizzazione di Dinamiche Laser e Sistemi Spazialmente Estesi approved for the years 2004-2005 (IT1348). Three years collaboration with the University of Florence in the framework of the Italian Project Science and Technology in the society of Knowledge: Economics and Complexity from September 2003. - Guest researcher at the University Rey Juan Carlos, Mostoles (Spain), January 2004. My activity has been focused mainly on studies of nonlinear dynamics in optics. I can divide my activity in three principal arguments: - Control and synchronization of chaos. - Modes for the nonlinear dynamics in isotropic lasers. - Optics measurements in the infrared.
