About
Bio
Dr. Camille Martire is a JPL Research Technologist in the Ionospheric and Atmospheric Remote Sensing Group, and the Deputy Director for the International GNSS Service (IGS)’s Central Bureau since July 2022. She first joined JPL in 2021 as a Postdoctoral Scholar, after receiving her PhD degree with honours (in Astrophysics, Space Science, and Planetary Science) from the Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace in 2020.

Experience
Professional Experience
Since 2021, Dr. Martire has focused on three main areas. At JPL, she supports critical space assets by operationally providing ionospheric calibrations for the GPS constellation, NASA’s Deep Space Network, the IGS, and other US federal organisations. At the IGS, she designs administrative procedures to ensure seamless international collaborations, provide scientific counsel, and represent the Service at the United Nations’ Office for Outer Space Affairs. Finally, her research explores how GNSS satellites can augment tsunami early warning systems and how balloon platforms can record earthquake sounds for remote sensing on other planetary bodies.
During her doctoral work, Dr. Martire designed and leveraged numerical modeling and experimental methods to study infrasound propagation in coupled solid/fluid and ground/atmosphere systems. She analyzed tropospheric and stratospheric datasets (e.g., seismic infrasound, microbaroms) on Earth, demonstrated for the first time the presence of infrasound on Mars using ground data from NASA’s InSight, and collaborated with Dr. Baptiste Chide to model acoustic attenuation for SuperCam’s microphone on board NASA’s Perseverance.
Previously, Dr. Martire developed N-body simulations at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to study the impact of gravitational shocks on globular star clusters, and designed algorithms for orbital collision risk assessment with the French Space Agency (CNES).
