I am a Ph.D. graduate in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science, a joint Ph.D. program sponsored by the Universities of Rome Tor Vergata and La Sapienza and the Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF). I obtained my Master’s degree in Astrophysics, with honors, from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, specializing in Gravitational Waves. My Ph.D. work, carried on at the School of Aerospace Engineering in Rome, revolved around the development of AI-based algorithms for Space Systems, addressing topics such as Nanosatellite Autonomous Navigation, Orbit Determination and Object Recognition. After a period as a visiting researcher between 2022 and 2023, I came back to ESA as Internal Research Fellow in 2025, focusing on AI techniques for hydrological monitoring and forecasting of hydrological events.
