I am the P.I. of this project to fit MPIA's adaptive optics system ALFA with a pyramid wavefront sensor working in the near infrared.	I am also the Co-P.I. of SPHERE, a project to develop a new instrument for the ground-based direct imaging detection of extra-solar planets.
I am working in the field of formation of massive stars. Particularly those very young specimen embedded deeply in things called "ultra-compact HII-regions"...	From image data reduction to mirror motion control in the laboratory - IDL is my favourite scientific programming tool and I've done quite some packages over the years...
