About Me

Italian Trulli


I am a PhD candidate at Leiden Observatory (Sterrewacht) and TU Delft, as a member of the Astrodynamics and Space Missions group. I am modelling the interior and orbital evolution of moons under the influence of tidal heating under the supervision of Matthew Kenworthy and Dominic Dirkx. I am using my simulations to also infer the detectability of tidally heated bodies outside of the solar system.
