Son of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a dual-band optical/infrared spectrograph for the NTT telescope at ESO La Silla Observatory, Chile, optimized for the observations of transient and variable objects. The SOXS consortium is led by INAF (Italy), with the participation of University of Turku. In this project, as the CBX Work Package Manager I am responsible for the design and construction of the Calibration Unit subsystem, in collaboration with local companies in Finland.

• Design and development of the SOXS calibration unit

•  SOXS: a wide band spectrograph to follow up transients  

MICADO (Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations ) is a near-infrared imaging camera with adaptive optics for the ESO Extremely Large Telescope. I joined this project as part of the PSF Reconstruction working group, Non-AO Effects work package.

The NOT Transient Explorer (NTE) is a dual-band optical/infrared spectrograph for the NOT telescope at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Spain, being built by a consortium led by University of Copenhagen. University of Turku is a member of the instrument consortium.

GOTO (Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer) is a wide-field multi-telescope cluster designed for rapid detection of gravitational wave optical counterparts, being build by a consortium led by University of Warwick (UK) and Monash University (Australia), with contributions from University of Turku as a partner.

LISS (Line Imager and Slit Spectrograph) is a Fabry-Pérot imager/spectrograph utilizing liquid crystal etalon developed at the University of Tokyo. This instrument is capable of taking narrow-band images and longslit spectroscopy.
