Giacomo Lari

About



I am Giacomo Lari, junior research fellow (RTDA) at the University of Pisa. I was born on 22 July 1989 and I live in La Spezia (Italy) with my girlfriend Giulia and our dog Barnaba.
I obtained my PhD in Mathematics in 2018. I am part of the Mathematical Physics and Celestial Mechanics Groups of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pisa. My main research interests regard celestial mechanics and space missions.
In particular, my studies concern the dynamical evolution of satellites driven by tidal dissipation (with a special focus on the Galilean satellites and the Laplace resonance) and the tilting of gas giants. Moreover, I am currently working on the processing of the Juno mission data, using and developing the orbit determination software ORBIT14.
Since my Master's degree I have attended some courses of other university programs (such as Physics and Aerospace Engineering), in order to obtain different research instruments and a wider knowledge. A few years ago, I worked on the development of a new Shallow Water equations numerical solver, joining an INGV project.
