  Trainee at EP-DT (Experimental Physics - Detector Technologies) – CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, one of the world's largest and most respected institutes for scientific research. I’m part of the team responsible for a project with the objective of developing optical sensors for relative humidity. Fiber Optic Sensors (FOS) provide many attractive characteristics, among which immunity to electromagnetic interference, passive operation (intrinsically safe), water and corrosion resistance and, above all, ease of sensor multiplexing on a single fiber, with consequent reduction of cabling complexity, size and weight. Following the successful installation in the CMS experiment of a network of 72 FOS thermo-hygrometers based on “Fiber Bragg Gratings” (FBG), and their continuous operation since January 2015, the EP-DT group is in the process of developing a second generation of optical sensor for relative humidity. Based on a Sol-Gel deposit of TiO2 in highly controlled conditions on a Long Period Grating (LPG) sensor, this new sensor is expected to overcome the main limitations of the FBG humidity sensors previously developed. During the traineeship I was involved in all the stages of the sensor’s characterization before and after the irradiation campaign. The characterization consists in several runs of tests and posteriori study of the sensitivity, to temperature and humidity, time response, hysteresis and radiation influence.All the studies were done in a thermo-regulated chamber where is possible to control the humidity and temperature. In my traineeship I improved and automatized the setup, developing a Visual Interface (LabVIEW) and implementing two mass flow controllers to create and control the humidity automatically and remotely. I also developed the Matlab scripts to analyse all the data from the sensors.

  I was involved in the TIRAMISU Project - Humanitarian Demining Toolbox. I developed a sensor to detect the vapours typically released by the landmines. I also optimized the sensor's shape and I was involved in the electronics improvements.After, I projected and developed a setup to study the optical properties (reflectance, transmittance and absorbance) of solid materials. The setup was composed by two integrating spheres and an angular positioner. I was involved in the TIRAMISU Project - Humanitarian Demining Toolbox.
