Main Research Fields

My main research area deals with the physics of small bodies in the Solar System (dust, asteroids, comets, KBOs). This encompasses in particular the study of dust particles of interplanetary or interstellar origin by in-situ detectors flown on various esa/nasa missions, as well as the remote sensing of planetary discs.
