About

Professor Derek C Richardson is a faculty member at the University of Maryland at College Park, USA. His research centers on the dynamics, geology, and evolution of asteroid systems, with a particular focus on binary asteroids such as Didymos and Phaethon. Recent publications include studies on orbital capture, surface dynamics, and the impact-induced deformation of small asteroids, contributing significantly to the field of planetary defense.
