Hey there, time for an introduction! I’m new to CalcKey (and CalcKey.social in particular), but not that new to the Fediverse, so this will not be my main profile for some time, but I’ll try to see if it can become that.

I’m half-astronomer, half-engineer, although the engineering part has been gaining more relevance with time.

I have worked for several observatories, among them the European Southern Observatory, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, and since June 2022 the Joint ALMA Observatory.

The Joint ALMA Observatory just went through its 10th anniversary, and is ready now for its major overhaul: the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which will change all the signal chain, including correlation and data processing, to get an huge multiple in speed gains for most projects, and at least a 4 times gain for most.

My role is to supervise the Systems Engineering efforts for all relevant subprojects, to make sure that a successful observatory upgrade is delivered which provides a lot of value to our community.

See you around!

ps. As my profile indicates, most of my activity will, anyway, happen at @[email protected]. At least, for the time being!

At 19.00 CET [18:00 UTC], join a special, live virtual guided tour of #ESO sites. Get to see what goes on behind the scenes at our #observatories in Chile, located in one of the most remote places on Earth. Discover what it takes to operate a #telescope in the middle of the Atacama Desert and what #astronomers are looking to find out there. Join us in the integration hall of the ESO Headquarters in Germany and much more.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be able to journey (safely) to the massive #BlackHole at the centre of our #Galaxy? This wonderful movie, produced by the #EuropeanSouthernObservatory (#ESO), is the nearest we can get to doing that. A fantastic sequence that stitches together real #optical and #infrared #images.

The #ExtremelyLargeTelescope Dome is currently being put together patiently, following the IKEA assembly instructions, at the base camp -- we call it the Lego site.

The light blue part is currently being worked on and installed.

The Cone Nebula is part of a star-forming region of space, NGC 2264, about 2,500 light-years away. Its pillar-like appearance is anexample of the shapes that can develop in giant clouds of cold molecular gas and dust, known for creating new stars. This dramatic new view of the nebula was captured with the FORS2 instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), and released on the occasion of ESO’s 60th anniversary.
