I am mission designer at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and an orbital mechanics instructor at Caltech. I worked at ESA/ESOC and JAXA/ISAS for a decade before moving to JPL in 2016. I served as Mission Design Manager for Europa Clipper and contributed to the trajectory design of BepiColombo (ESA), JUICE (ESA), MMX (JAXA), Destiny (JAXA), EQUULEUS (JAXA), Europa Clipper (NASA), Lunar Trailblazer (NASA), and Lunar Flashlight (NASA), among other missions.

BS/MS in Aerospace Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2002); Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from University of Southern California (2010).
