Dr. Thomas Vassallo

Science interest

• Since 2013 I work on the development of data analysis software for space-based missions for cosmology.
• I’ve been part of the Planck collaboration (2013-2015) and I am currently a member of the Euclid Consortium (2015-present).
• My field of expertise is the development of high performance software for image and signal processing, designed to run in HTC infrastructures, dealing with big data in terms of volume and variety.
• My activity focuses on the development and management of software projects, including software design and engineering, V&V, documentation, reviewing, communication and dissemination.
