Davide Amato is an Associate Professor in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London, leading the Computational Astrodynamics (COAST) research group. Prior to joining Imperial, he held postdoctoral positions at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, and at the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He completed his doctoral studies at the Technical University of Madrid in Spain in 2017, where he worked as an Early Stage Researcher in the Stardust Marie Curie Initial Training Network. Amato obtained his MSc in Aerospace Engineering in 2013 and BSc in 2009 from the University of Naples "Federico II" in Italy. His research focuses on astrodynamics, developing advanced computational methods to enhance the understanding and prediction of space activities. His work addresses challenges in space situational awareness while contributing to the safety, security, and sustainability of space operations by preventing potential in-space collisions. His methods enable robust estimation and prediction of satellite dynamics through the application of advanced mathematics, including fast orbit propagation techniques with known error bounds and the reconstruction of satellite maneuvers using scientific machine learning methodologies.
