Background: In September 2020, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Astronomy at the University of Padova, where I also earned a Master’s degree in Astrophysics and Cosmology in October 2023. From December 2023 to October 2024, I worked as a research assistant at CNR-IFN in Padova, where I actively contributed to the development of the Comet Interceptor mission, particularly focusing on the EnVisS instrument. I have a keen interest in space optics.

Research project summary: My PhD project focuses on designing an optical system for Earth Observation using freeform optics within the CubeSat format
