Pasquale Panuzzo, PhD

Welcome! This is my personal web site; it contains some information on my work.

I’m a research engineer of CNRS, working in the UNIDIA unit at the Observatoire de Paris, in Meudon, France. I’m one of the two Technical Director of the UNIDIA.

My main work activities are related to the ESA Gaia mission: I’m a member of the DPAC consortium, working in the Coordination Unit 6 (unit in charge of the processing of the RVS instrument) and in the Coordination Unit 4 NSS (in charge of the processing of non-single stars data).

I have several roles in CU6: Deputy Leader, Configuration and Quality Assurance Manager, Coordinator of the RVS Payload Experts, Responsible for the Pre-Processing work package.

I also work for the SPIAKID project, aimed at building a spectrophotometric imager based on Kinetic Inductance detectors. In this project, I’m managing the development of the Data Reduction software.

You can read my curriculum vitae, with my past experiences.

In addition to my engineer work, I do research in several topics. My most recent research topics are stellar black holes and multiple stars. I’ve collected the recording of some seminars/talks that I gave, and some videos on my work in this page.
