Ivan Di Stefano

Ivan di Stefano is postdoc researcher at Sapienza University of Rome. He obtained the Ph.D. in space and astronautic engineering in February 2022, with a thesis titled "Tracking systems and orbit determination for relativistic gravity experiments with the missions BepiColombo and JUICE: simulations and early results". The main focus of his research concerns orbit determination, autonomous spacecraft navigation, radio science experiments, planetary gravity fields and fundamental physics tests. He contributed to orbit determination analyses and radio science experiments performed with ESA's BepiColombo and JUICE missions, NASA's MESSENGER mission, and ESA's Moonlight project.
