PhD in Astrophysics and PhD in Chemistry. I currently work as Associated Doctor at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC). I am the coordinator of the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN), which operates in Spain and neighbouring areas (www.swemn.org). I am running the SMART Project (Spectroscopy of Meteoroids in the Atmosphere by means of Robotic Technologies). In the framework of this survey I currently operate over 80 high-sensitivity video cameras and spectrographs from 10 different observatories, together with three systems for the detection of radio meteors. I also conduct the MIDAS Project (Moon Impacts Detection and Analysis System) together with the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA), to detect and analyze impact flashes produced by meteoroids that hit the lunar surface.

Not a member of any association but he tries to dedicate most of his freetime to meteoritics, especially to calculate fireballs' trajectory, solar system orbits and strewnfields. Working in IT helps developing new softwares to support this goal. (Site: Budapest, Hungary)

Ravi Jagtiani
Intrigued by the source of meteors and fireballs, Ravi is always on his toes to spot a space junk reentry and find out whodunnit. An amateur that got trapped in this predicament years ago when inquiring into reports of aliens and UFOs, only to find most reports leading to rational, explainable stimuli. Ever since , Ravi has been on a warpath to slay UFO hoaxers and save the deluded from gullibility. While there won’t be any hard-hitting analysis, do expect some exciting space media.
