Research Activity:
The main research activity is connected with the physical and mineralogical study of the minor bodies of the Solar System from ground and from space, with spectrophotometric data obtained at the ESO telescopes (Chile), at the TNG (Canarias), at the Asiago telescopes and from the Rosetta space mission to which I partecipate as Co-I of the imaging system OSIRIS.
Since 2000 I am PI of a long term spectroscopic investigation of Near Earth Objects (SINEO) which is included in the ESA Space Situational Awareness program for the study of potential hazardous objects for the Earth.
I am Co-I of an EU project of the Horizon 2020 program, NEOSHIELD2 (2015-17, H2020-PROTEC-2014 Proposal number: SEP-210130790) for the investigation of small NEOs (Task 10.2.1 ‘Colours and Phase
function').
I am local PI of the national project PRISMA with a camera installed at the Asiago Obs. for the study of fireball and meteorites.
I am responsible of several observational programs of comets and asteroids.
I am author or co-author of more than 260 papers and serve as referee of several international astronomical journals.
I have organized and/or have been member of the SOC of six international meetings and two
nationals.
Since several years I have been coordinating a research group presently composed by two Post-Doc fellows and a TDA researcher.
I collaborate with researchers of several italian institutes and international (Obs. de Paris, Max Planck Inst. Gottingen, DLR Berlin, Univ. of Maryland, Univ. of Boston, NASA Ames Research Center).
I am PI or Co-I of several funded projects: PRIN-MIUR, ASI,PRIN-INAF.
Scientific Responsible of ASI funds for Rosetta Mission-OSIRIS since 2005.
