→
Europe/Amsterdam
Description
Speaker: Dr. Sebastian Steinlechner
About the speaker: I'm an associate professor (UHD) in the Department of Gravitational Waves and Fundamental Physics. My research focusses on interferometry for gravitational-wave detectors, from optical simulations and layouts to quantum measurement techniques. I am a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since 2009, a member of the Virgo Collaboration since 2019 and a member of the ET Collaboration since its inception in 2022.
Currently, I hold the following positions:
- Subsystem manager for optical simulation and design (OSD) at Virgo
- Optics work-package leader for ETpathfinder
- Modelling & Design Tools workpackage co-chair for the ET Collaboration
- Ombudsperson for the ET collaboration
- Member of the NWO Physics for Technology and Instrumentation panel
