Since 2021, Dr. Martire has focused on three main areas. At the IGS, they design administrative procedures to ensure seamless international collaborations, provide scientific counsel, promote inclusion efforts, and represent the Service at the United Nations’ Office for Outer Space Affairs. At JPL, they support critical space assets by operationally providing ionospheric calibrations for the GPS constellation, NASA’s Deep Space Network, the IGS, and other US federal organisations. Finally, their research explores how GNSS satellites can augment tsunami early warning systems and how balloon platforms can record earthquake sounds for remote sensing on other planetary bodies.

During their doctoral work, Dr. Martire designed and leveraged numerical modeling and experimental methods to study infrasound propagation in coupled solid/fluid and ground/atmosphere systems. They analyzed tropospheric and stratospheric datasets (e.g., seismic infrasound, microbaroms) on Earth, demonstrated for the first time the presence of infrasound on Mars using ground data from NASA’s InSight, and collaborated with Dr. Baptiste Chide to model acoustic attenuation for SuperCam’s microphone on board NASA’s Perseverance.

Previously, Dr. Martire developed N-body simulations at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to study the impact of gravitational shocks on globular star clusters and designed algorithms for orbital collision risk assessment with the French Space Agency (CNES).
