background
marta got her degree in differential equations and functional analysis at the department of mathematics of the università degli studi roma tre, rome and her phd in aerospace engineering at the university of strathclyde, glasgow. she has accomplished a 3 years post-doc within the eu funded astronet-ii marie curie research training network in astrodynamics. she worked as a validation analyst in the field of airport traffic control and management and at the neo coordination centre (esa-esrin) as an operations engineer for the asteroid orbit determination and impact monitoring services. marta recently joined the university of cranfield as a lecturer in space engineering.
