Biography

Alessandro Frigeri is a research geologist at National Institute for Astrophysics / IAPS in Rome, Italy. His research concentrates on data analysis for interpreting the geologic evolution of the planetary surfaces using an interdisciplinary approach, including remote sensing and geospatial data analysis, mapping, field geology, and field geophysics on terrestrial analogs. He is part of scientific teams of radar, imagers, and spectrometers experiments onboard ESA and NASA missions to the Solar System's rocky bodies, focusing on multi-instrument and multi-resolution data analysis and interpretation. His first steps in astrobiology date back to 2016 when he became part of the science team of the ESA ExoMars mission to Mars, continuing in 2018 when he led a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) experiment within the AMADEE-18 simulated human mission on Mars in Oman, detecting water sources and characterizing buried paleoenvironments in a terrestrial analog of an arid aquifer.
