Giammarco Campanella

BSc, MSc(laude)

I am a research student in the Astronomy Unit which is part of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London. My primary supervisor is Dr. Craig Agnor.

Research Interests

I am working on the detectability of the moons of extrasolar planets, so-called exomoons as well as working on lightcurve data analysis, exoplanet IR observations and dynamics of Planetary Systems.

Education

Started my PhD at Queen Mary University of London in October 2009.
Gained an MSc (laude) 2-year degree (Laurea Specialistica) in Astronomy & Astrophysics from the Universita' di Roma "La Sapienza", Italy in September 2009.
I spent a semester in Erasmus at Queen Mary University of London and a semester at University College London preparing my MSc thesis. My supervisors were Dr. Giovanna Tinetti and Dr. Alessandro Melchiorri.
Graduated in February 2008 with a BSc 3-year degree (Laurea) in Physics & Astrophysics from the Universita' di Roma "La Sapienza" , Italy. Here is my dissertation (in English is available only the abstract).
Gained an High school diploma (Science Curriculum) from Liceo Scientifico "Enrico Fermi" - Martina Franca, Italy in 2004. Here is my dissertation (mostly in Italian).

Curriculum Vitae available here (last update 17/03/10).
