Curriculum Vitae
Born: April 30, 1961
Present position (2014): Associate Professor at the Dept. of Physics, University of Padova (1992).
1998: Visiting professor, Planetary Science Institute, Tucson (USA),
planetary accretion and collisional evolution of asteroids.
1992-: Researcher at the Dept. of Physics, University of Padova.
1991: Postdoctoral fellow, Dept. of Physics, University of Padova (Italy), optimization of flight times in space missions.
1990: Postdoctoral ESA fellow, Planetary Science Institute, Tucson (USA),
computer models for planetary formation.
1989: Ph.D. in Physics, University of Padova, Dept.of Physics.
Thesis title: ``Dynamics of planet-crossing asteroids''
1985: Laurea degree in physics(110/110 L), University of Padova, Italy.
RESEARCH ACTIVITY
-Origin and evolution of planetary systems: planetary migration by tidal interaction with a circumstellar disk, planet-planet scattering, planetesimal accumulation
-Circumstellar disks: hydrodynamical modeling of disk with SPH and grid codes in particular around binary star systems. Influence of the disk eccentricity on planetesdimal accumulation.
-Formation and evolution of debris disks: effects of planetary perturbations and ISM flux on the disk morphology for both collision and transport dominated disks.
-Origin and dynamics of Trojan asteroids: mathematical tools for the stability analysis applied to Trojan populations around different planets. Capture models based on the mass growth of the planets and resonant evolution of planet pairs.
-YORP and non-gravitational forces: modeling the rotational dynamics of NEOs and small Main Belt asteroids under the effects of YORP and collisions. Dynamics of minor bodies under the effects of non-gravitational forces like gas drag, Poyinting-Robertson e Yarkovsky.
Team member of CASSINI--HUYGENS, CHEOPS and PLATO missions and co-investigator of ROSETTA, BEPI-COLOMBO and JUICE missions (ESA).
Author of more than 240 papers on international journals and chapters in review and text books.
Active collaborations with the Observatoire de Paris (France), the Planetary Science Institute (Tucson, USA), The University of Colorado at Boulder (CO, USA) and the LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratories, NW, USA).
Supervisor and co-supervisor of 25 undergraduate thesis for the laurea degree in Physics and Astronomy. Supervisor of 48 bachelor (3 years) degree. Supervisor of 5 PhD students.
2000/.. Member of the teaching panel of the PhD programme at CISAS (Interdipartimental Center for Space Studies and Activities), in charge of the course “Fisica ed Effetti dell'Ambiente Spaziale" (Physics and Effects of the Space Environment).
