Dr. Emma Caminiti

Research

My research focuses on airless bodies as key tracers of planetary formation and evolution, providing fundamental insights into the formation of the Solar System and, by extension, into the formation of other planetary systems. I use both laboratory and remote sensing, visible-infrared, spectroscopy to study surface processes and  interior-surface-environment interactions, with a focus on space weathering and volcanism. 

I am actively involved in the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo and JAXA MMX missions, working with the SIMBIO-SYS and MIRS instruments to unravel the mysteries of Mercury and the Martian system.
