Luca Conversi

Luca Conversi is an Instrument Scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), specializing in the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), its polarization, and foregrounds at sub-millimeter and far-infrared wavelengths. His work bridges cosmological inquiry with practical instrumentation development, particularly for ESA missions.

• Missions: Euclid, Herschel, Planck
• Collaborations: Herschel-Planck cross-calibration, HerMES, Hi-GAL, OLIMPO

Conversi focuses on extracting cosmological insights from CMB foregrounds, including interstellar dust and the cosmic infrared background. He also contributes to the optical analysis and calibration of sub-millimeter experiments, with a current emphasis on preparing the ground segment for the Euclid mission.
