The collisional evolution of small body populations, such as the Asteroid Belt, Trojan Asteroids, and the Trans-Neptunian region, is one of the primary research areas of our group. Despite their size, these small bodies play a crucial role in the history and dynamics of the Solar System.

By studying the collisions that have shaped these populations over billions of years, we seek to understand the mechanisms that have influenced the current distribution of asteroids and trans-Neptunian objects. These impacts affect not only the physical structure of individual bodies but are also essential for uncovering the origin and evolution of different asteroid families and gravitational aggregates.

Our work focuses on high-precision numerical models and simulations that allow us to predict how collisions between small bodies have shaped their physical and orbital characteristics, providing deeper insights into the dynamics and fate of these populations over time.
