Christoph Lhotka

Christoph Lhotka is an Assistant Professor in the Department of MATHEMATICS FOR ECONOMICS AND FINANCE at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. His academic career includes teaching Calculus and Mathematics courses across Bachelor’s programs. His research focuses on celestial mechanics, orbital dynamics, and space plasma physics, with particular emphasis on charged dust behavior, interplanetary magnetic fields, and resonance phenomena in planetary systems.

Key research areas include the analysis of Lagrange points, tidal effects on planetary systems, and solar wind interactions with dust particles. He has contributed to studies using spacecraft data from missions like BepiColombo and MMS to explore Mercury’s environment and solar wind turbulence.

Recent work highlights include investigations into co-orbital dust dynamics near Venus and Jupiter, stability of resonant systems, and the role of electromagnetic transport in heliospheric environments. His publications often bridge theoretical models with observational data, addressing fundamental questions in astrophysics and dynamical systems.
