Staff
Our energy comes from the mixture of two cultures: a team of scientists able to look at problems from a different perspective and a business team paying attention to the needs of our clients. That is, scientific excellence and business discipline to transform science into solutions. Talent oriented to solving real problems.

I am physicist at heart, but my interests spill over into other fields, including information theory, radar, machine learning and neuroscience. I have been involved and led several ESA and EU projects on technology development in Earth observation (with a focus on gnss-r) and neuroscience applications (mostly related to the interaction of Maxwell's equations with the wet brain).

BS. Economics - University of Wolverhampton - England - UK
My main challenges are to prove that the science can be a business model, to give scientists back their important role in society and to convince the companies to invest in long-term research.
Marco Caparrini
Director, Space Engineering Starlab Consulting Division
BSc. (5 academic years) E.E. - La Sapienza - Italy
My main research field is the use of GNSS signals as a source of opportunity for remote sensing of planet Earth (PARIS concept). Particularly, I concentrate my effort in the development of novel algorithms for code and phase altimetry with GNSS-R signals.

Director, Neuroscience Research Starlab Consulting Division
MSc. Opt-electronics - Queens University - UK.
BSc. Planetary and Space Physics - University of Wales - UK.
Like many of us here I started out in Physics. Particularly astrophysics where I used to wonder about what was going on "out there" but then, like many of us here, I got to wondering about the wondering itself. So for the moment I'll be thinking about how we build and maintain the model of the universe in our head before getting back to the one on the outside.

Financial officer
BS. Economics - University of Barcelona - Spain
My main goal at Starlab is to help demonstrate that science can be profitable and is not antagonistic with business. I strongly believe that investing in good research can be of benefit for all in both the short and long term. I am proud to be part of a very enthusiastic and skilled team.
