Simony Santos Da Costa

Simony Santos Da Costa serves as a Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Trento, Italy, with research spanning cosmological modeling, space sciences, and physics education outreach. Her institutional base is located in Povo at Via Sommarive, 14 - 38123.

Her primary research focuses on inflationary cosmology and dark sector physics, particularly through participation in next-generation cosmological survey analysis. Additional expertise includes science communication initiatives and space science applications, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement between theoretical physics and public education.

Dr. Da Costa collaborates with the Trento Institute for Fundamental Physics and Applications and the Trento Science Museum on research infrastructure. Her current project "Inflation and dark sector physics in light of next-generation cosmological surveys" (2024-2026) is funded by the Caritro Foundation's Young Researchers program, though project leadership is attributed to Sunny Vagnozzi and Massimiliano Rinaldi. No scientific awards or student mentorship activities are documented in available records.
