My main research focuses on Fundamental Astrodynamics, (nonlinear) Dynamical Systems perturbation theory and applied Lie Groups and Algebras (Differential Geometry). My current specific topics include:
- Analytic and semi-analytic models for satellites' orbits subject to conservative and non-conservative perturbations.
- Relative orbital motion.
- Analytic models for rigid body motion.
My aim is to develop computationally-efficient methods for the accurate prediction of satellites' orbits and attitude (inertial and relative) and the space debris population.
