Vincenzo MAriani

Vincenzo Mariani is a post-doc researcher at Sapienza University of Rome. He obtained his PhD degree in Planetary Sciences and Astrophysics in November 2024 with a thesis titled: “Bayesian and supervised learning methods for planetary orbit construction” at Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur and Université Côte d’Azur in Nice, France. His PhD research project consisted in developing a new generation of INPOP planetary ephemerides tackling the problem with a bayesian approach. In particular, he developed a pipeline based on MCMC and Gaussian Processes applied to the test of alternative theories of gravitation. Moreover, he worked on implementing a supervised learning approach (based on boosting decision trees) in order to improve the current modeling of the Main Asteroid Belt within planetary ephemerides.
