RESEARCH PROFILE:

My main research deals with internal (crustal and core) planetary magnetic fields for Mercury, the Moon, Mars and terrestrial analogs.

During my carreer I got experience on:

• dealing with in-situ magnetometer data to get core magnetic field maps at constant orbital altitude of a planet.
• analysis of the constrains on the early dynamo by studying planetary crustal magnetic field.
• inversions for locating magnetized material at planetary (sub)surfaces.
• magnetic field prospection on terrestrial analogs (volcanos and lava tubes).
• magnetic fields instrumentation.

Community Roles:

• Deputy president of EGU PS division [since 2024]
• BepiColombo Young Scientist Study Group (YSSG) co-chair [2018-2024]
