Dr. Patrick Michel is the Principal Investigator of the ESA Hera mission and the lead of the team Theories and Observations in Planetology (TOP) at the Laboratory Lagrange/CNRS of the Côte d’Azur Observatory in Nice, France. With more than 200 publications in peer-reviewed international journals, he is Director of Research at CNRS and acts as project manager and Coordinator of the European Union H2020 funded NEO-MAPP project. He leads or highly contributes to research projects and space missions devoted to asteroid science and defense, such as OSIRIS-REx (NASA), Hayabusa2 and MMX (JAXA). He is also co-chair of the cooperation AIDA involving scientists on both NASA DART and ESA Hera, is President of the Near-Earth Object Working of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and a member of the steering committee of the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN). His research includes studies of the collisional process between small bodies, the origin and dynamical evolution of Near-Earth Objects, their physical properties and their response to impacts, tidal effects, spin-up and shaking. He was awarded the NASA Silver Achievement Medal, the international Paolo Farinella Prize 2013 for his contribution to the collisional process, the Carl Sagan Medal of the American Division of Planetary Science for his excellence in public communication and the Prize Young Researcher 2006 of the French Society of Astronomy & Astrophysics.
