I have presented the results of my research and projects as a speaker at several conferences, events and industry fairs. Here are some highlights and special moments!

As PR Coordinator for the LUNEX EuroMoonMars Foundation, I had the chance to interview some prominent personalities in the aerospace industry, such as:

  • David Williams – Acting Head NASA Space Science Data Coordinated Archive
  • Diego Urbina – Mars 500 Analog Astronaut
  • Romain Charles – Mars 500 Analog Astronaut
  • Vladimir Pletser – senior Physicist-Engineer at ESA, analog astronaut at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) and at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS)
  • Mieke Sterken, Education & Outreach Coordinator at the International Polar Foundatioî
  • Akihiko Hoshide – JAXA astronaut (video message for Lunex community)
  • EMMPOL 11 Crew – Live Q&A from the Moon Base
  • Harrison Schmitt – NASA Apollo Astronaut (short interview for the EuroSpaceHub community at LPSC 2023)
  • Nadeem Ghafoor – CEO Avalon Space
  • Series of interviews with students and participants of LPSC 2023, “The Voices of Participants”

I also coordinated PR, press communication activities for Lunex and EuroSpaceHub at several conferences around the world, such as the International Astronautical Congress 2022 (Paris), New Space Economy Fair (Rome), LPSC 2023 (Houston), Padua 800 Years (Italy).
