Research topics

Although I’m not a researcher, I’ve done research in many topics, and participated to many papers (sometime as first author), especially thanks to my participation in the Herschel and Gaia missions. My H-index is 76. The full list of my publications can be found on this SciX link. Here below the principal topics, with relevant publications.
