Space Exploration is one of the key elements of the new Space Economy. To explore space, however, a number of challenges should be addressed and resolved. Nature is a source of a never ending inspiration for bio inspired solutions to address the needs of human and robotic exploration.
In today's academic landscape, achieving excellence in doctoral research requires embracing two key trends: interdisciplinary approaches and international collaboration. These emerging norms are transforming how we overcome complex challenges, combining insights from diverse fields of science and technology while fostering multi- and inter-national partnerships. In this talk, we'll explore how...
Despite its youth, the National Doctorate in Space Science and Technology has exponentially increased its impact and internationalization in the space science community. This growth has occurred despite the challenges and issues faced by students during the first academic year of the PhD program. Nowadays we can recognize the national doctorate to be present in most of the biggest...
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are highly eccentric and tight binary systems consisting of a massive black hole (MBH) and a compact object. These systems emit gravitational waves in the mHz frequency range during each pericentre passage, thus representing primary sources for the upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Due to the emission of gravitational waves, the compact...
Magnetic elements are well-known to cover the entire lower layer of the Sun's atmosphere, the photosphere. These magnetic structures and their associated dynamics can potentially explain long debated questions in solar physics, such as coronal heating and the acceleration of solar wind. The aim of this work is to study the coherent transverse oscillations observed in magnetic concentrations...
