In 2001-2002, he was visiting researcher at West Virginia University (WVU, US) to study aircraft modelling and Neural Network controllers.
After the Ph.D. degree, in 2004 he joined Thales Alenia Space in Turin (I) as an engineering consultant for metrology and AOCS. From 2005 to 2007 he was a Post Doctoral Researcher at the Earth Observation Programmes Department of the European Space Agency (ESA) at ESTEC facility, in The Netherlands. He is currently a consultant at ESA/ESTEC, Earth Observation Programmes Directorate – Future Missions division, with Rhea B.V. since 2007. He is the author of co-author of more than 80 scientific publications in international journals, conference proceedings and articles on books. He has been working on European projects of Earth Explorers satellites (in particular on Biomass, selected as Earth Explorer 7, and FLEX, selected as Earth Explorer 8), GEO High Resolution and GOCE follow-on missions. He is actively involved in the ESA Technology Research Programme, either in the preparation or the review phases, in the domain of micro-propulsion, laser metrology and AOCS. He has been appointed as coordinator of the Inter-Agency Working Group between ESA and NASA on gravity topics, and he is actively involved with the Center for Gravitational Experiments in Wuhan (China). His research interests cover aircraft & satellite modelling and simulation, nonlinear and adaptive control design, artificial intelligence techniques (NNs), Nano-balancing, AOCS, Drag Free and Attitude Control for scientific satellites.
Dr. Massotti is a Member of the AIAA GNC Technical Committee, Senior AIAA Member, and lecturer at several universities and research centers (e.g. Giessen University (D), Politecnico di Torino (I), FOTEC (A) and HUST University (China)).vizualizați mai puține
