Biography

Flavio is a planetary geophysicist specializing in the inversion of the interior structures of planets and moons from geophysical observations. His research focuses on the combination of different measurements (gravity, magnetic induction, composition) to determine the properties of interior structures of icy moons. Currently affiliated with the Europa Clipper Gravity / Radio Science investigation, he will apply the methodology he developed to Europa, the other Galilean moons, and the moons of Uranus.
