Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamín Idini is a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Santa Cruz with nine years of experience applying mathematical modeling and high-performance computing to planetary interiors, geophysics, and earthquake mechanics. His PhD work at Caltech contributed to interpreting Juno mission data—revealing dynamical tide signatures and proposing a Jupiter–Io interior–orbital resonance—while his background in structural engineering and probabilistic seismic modeling produced widely used ground-motion tools for Chilean seismic hazard studies. Comfortable solving large-scale partial differential equations, he blends fieldwork (oceanographic geophysics) with numerical simulation and Bayesian inference to tackle multiscale Earth and planetary problems. Notably, he has translated seismological insight into practical models and mission concepts, including participation in JPL’s mission design for a comet sample return.
