Welcome! My name is Saverio Cambioni. I am a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
My academic work aims to advance our understanding of how planets form and evolve. I focus on the effect of collisions between terrestrial planets and the geophysics of smaller bodies such as asteroids. I investigate these phenomena by combining numerical simulations, analysis of data collected by spacecraft and telescopes, and machine learning techniques.
I hold a PhD in Planetary Sciences from the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona, with a dissertation on the application of machine learning to planetary sciences. I also hold a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in space engineering from University Sapienza in Rome.
