Involvement in space missions
Research Activity & Models
My research is primarily focused on the development of Global Climate Models (GCM) designed to accurately simulate the environment on other planets. The scientific applications are countless. On this basis, I am also deeply involved in space exploration, observations analysis, and space instrumentationNot Mars
