RESEARCH INTERESTS
Study of the thermo-physical evolution and internal structure of small objects in the solar system – like asteroids, comets or Kuiper Belt Objects – as constrained through theoretical and numerical modeling, and ground- and space-based observations of their surface and overall physical properties, mostly through IFU NIR spectroscopic observations.
- Solar System formation and evolution, origins
- Surface composition of small bodies, ices and organics in the solar system
- Thermo-physical evolution of small bodies, alteration processes and internal structure
- Cometary activity and occurrence of liquid water / cryovolcanism throughout the solar system
- Link between small body populations
