Collaborations
DESI, Dark Energy Spectroscopic Survey
I have been a member of DESI since 2018. I am currently a convener of the Key Project 5 in charge of the coordination of the full shape analysis of the 2-point statistics. This project will produce the measurements of background expansion history, growth of structure, primordial non-Gaussianities and neutrino masses.
eBOSS, extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of SDSS - IV
I am member of this collaboration and chair of the clustering working group from 2017 to 2018. I led the final key science papers on BAO and RSD on the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample.
BOSS, Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of SDSS - III
I was a member of this collaboration until the end of the experiment in 2017. I led the final key science papers on BAO and RSD and high order statistics.
