Seminars

Research

Dynamical evolution and multiple populations in Globular Clusters
(Collaboration with INAF - OAAb, Teramo, Italy and University of Rome La Sapienza, Rome, Italy)
Studying the evolution of Globular Clusters (GCs) and their Multiple Stellar Populations (GCs), focusing on the interplay between dynamical and stellar evolution. Development of advanced theoretical models and N-body simulations to better understand several processes in GCs evolution, like mass segregation and energy equipartition, as well as the formation and evolution of Multiple Stellar Populations and the related phenomena.

Volatiles emission from planetary surfaces
(Collaboration with INAF - IAPS, Rome, Italy)
Hydrodynamical simulations with the "Smoothed-Particle-Hydrodynamics" (SPH) approach to unveil the thermal and dynamical evolution of multi-component material released from fractures on planetary surfaces.
Development of an SPH code to simulate Enceladus' plumes, including a variety of important physical processes that shape the structural, thermal and dynamical properties of volatiles emission. The numerical model can be applied to different targets.
