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.
After I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I started my PhD joining the mathematical physics research group of the Department of Mathematics of Pisa and I earned it in 2018. 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.
