I acquired my bachelor’s in physics and master’s in computational physics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I obtained my PhD degree on applied mathematics in the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Currently I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology in Politecnico di Milano as part of the COMPASS group. My research interests include orbital dynamics, spin-orbit coupling and design of post-mission disposal manoeuvres. I am currently supported by the European Union funded projects ReDSHIFT and COMPASS.
Current research within COMPASS
- Post-mission disposal manoeuvres design
- Semi-analytical orbit propagation
- Analytical modelling of distant Earth satellite orbits
- Long-term sustainability of the geosynchronous orbital region
Other research
- Spin-orbit coupling
- Binary asteroid dynamics
