I am a researcher at Department of Mathematics "L. Tonelli", working in the Celestial Mechanics Group (CMG).

Main research interests:

Orbit determination of minor bodies: dynamics of Near Earth Asteroids, study of MOID (Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance) and its uncertainty, Opik theory, impact monitoring.
Orbit determination of space debris
Interplanetary orbit determination: BepiColombo mission
