This research area focuses on examining the formation, evolution, and description of planetary systems, including our very own Solar System and other exoplanets orbiting other stars. The main aim is to understand the diversity of worlds beyond the Earth, the necessary conditions for habitability and all physical processes that originate and shape these systems.
Main research topics/inquiries:
- Modelling physical processes that lead to the formation of planets from protoplanetary disks and their evolution across time.
- Analysing orbit dynamics of artificial satellites.
- Analysing processes like planet-disk interaction, tidal forces, resonant configuration and secular dynamics.
- Studying the dynamic evolution of planets in binary stellar systems.
- Doing tide modelling in multiple N-body systems.
- Analysing asteroid families and populations and their collisional evolution.
