Learning and teaching on the theme of planetary boundaries: anthropocene/ capitalocene, societal impacts, regenerative economy, sufficiency policies, and bio-regionalism, ...

I'm in charge of bringing the fringe-tracker SPICA-FT to routine operations on the CHARA Array (Mount Wilson, California) and evaluating its performance according to different atmospheric conditions and instrument setups.

- Coordination of the local OCA team for software developments and hardware caracterisation of new implementations of the instrument.

- Regular remote follow-up with CHARA's team members for routine operations with SPICA-FT.

- Python numerical simulations of fringe-tracking dedicated to SPICA-FT updates and performance evaluation.

- Caracterisation of a new photonic integrated component (PIC) for its implementation inside SPICA-FT in summer 2023.
