معرفی
Cilia Damiani is a Senior Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (Göttingen, Germany) since 2017, specializing in stellar interiors, exoplanet dynamics, and tidal interactions. She leads the Data Processing Development Working Group for the PLATO space mission, focusing on pipeline development for raw-to-calibrated data.
Her career includes postdoctoral roles at institutions like the Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale (France) and INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania (Italy), with a PhD from Paris Observatory (2005-2008) on spectroscopic instrumentation. She holds an engineering degree from École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris (2002-2005).
Research interests span Rossby waves in stars, tidal damping mechanisms in exoplanetary systems, and stellar rotation evolution. Her work integrates observational data from missions like CoRoT and PLATO to study exoplanet-host star interactions, stellar structure, and dynamics.
Key contributions include studies on brown dwarf orbital stability, hot Jupiter systems, and the influence of stellar evolution on tidal effects. She collaborates widely on international projects such as the PLATO mission and CoRoT exoplanet surveys.
