Liliana Edith Ferrari

Lorenza Ferrari received the Ph.D. degree in applied physics (working on cryogenic detectors for astrophysics applications) from the University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, in 2009. After that, she was with the INFN Genoa and PTB Berlin, Germany, for one year, as a Postdoctoral Researcher involved with low temperature detectors for neutrino mass experiments. Since 2010, she has been an Instrument Scientist with SRON—Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Her current interests include the development of microwave kinetic inductance detectors for sub-mm applications and transition edge sensors for FAR-IR frequency range, focussing on optical characterization and application in scientific instruments. She is also involved in the SpicA FAR-Infrared Instrument and X-Ray Integral Field Unit Spectrometer experiments modeling and testing the focal plane assembly, as well as designing cryogenic facilities for performance validation of instruments components.
