Andrea Tartari graduated at the University of Pavia in 2001 defending a thesis on the galactic spectral index at radio waves, in the context of the TRIS experiment carried out by the Radio Group of the University of Milano-Bicocca, led by prof. Giorgio Sironi. This study was oriented to the removal of galactic foregrounds in Cosmic Microwave Background experiments searching for its spectral distortions (TRIS, among others). In November 2001 he joined the Radio Group as PhD student, starting his activity in the field of CMB instrumentation and taking part to observational campaigns. He defended a PhD thesis in June 2005, on the “Development of a sub-millimeter radio receiver for Cosmological Observations”, under the supervision of prof. Massimo Gervasi. Since then his main interest is concentrated on CMB experimental physics. As a member of the Radio Group, he was in the collaboration that in 2008 prepared the phase A study for the SAGACE space mission (P.I. prof. P. de Bernardis, University of Roma - “La Sapienza”), dedicated to a spectroscopic observation of the sky between 100 and 760 GHz. He joined the Laboratoire Millimetrique at APC in 2009, as “Mairie de Paris” fellow, to work on superconducting devices for cosmological applications, an activity which he’s still carrying on at the University of Milano-Bicocca that he joined again in January 2010. He is currently part of the QUBIC collaboration, to develop a mm-wave bolometric interferometer designed for CMB B-mode search. As PCCP fellow he will dedicate his research activity to superconducting detectors suitable for ultrasensitive observations of the mm-wave sky.
