Biography

Pedro Mota Machado activity is focused on planetary sciences, namely the study of solar system’s planetary atmospheres. After graduating in Physics at Universidade de Lisboa he completed a master’s in Astrophysics at the same university. He obtained his PhD degree at the Paris Observatory (2013) and the University of Lisbon, with a thesis on Characterization of the Dynamics of the Atmosphere of Venus with Doppler velocimetry. Currently, he continues his research on atmospheric dynamics using Doppler velocimetry techniques, cloud tracking methods, atmospheric waves characterization and atmospheres' chemical retrieval (NEMESIS). Recently, he has started to adapt a Doppler velocimetry method, based on high-resolution spectra to other solar system planets' atmospheres (Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Titan). He is working in the process of adaptation of this method to different wavelength ranges, as is the case of the infrared (CARMENES, IRTF). He, and his group, optimized tools to retrieve winds at cloud top region using Doppler velocimetry. These techniques enabled the first ground-based direct measurement of the latitudinal profile of zonal wind in the atmosphere of Venus, first direct instantaneous measurements of latitudinal wind profiles in the visible(VLT UVES). Fibre-based high-resolution spectra (CFHT ESPaDOnS, HARPS-N TNG and VLT ESPRESSO) allowed the comparison with simultaneous cloud tracking measurements using VEx VIRTIS and AKATSUKI produced two kinds of relevant results: (1) characterization of the latitudinal zonal wind profile and its variability, (2) retrieval of instantaneous winds and detection of the presence and evolution of wavelike phenomena. It has been possible to obtain the first detection of a poleward meridional wind flow. He observed Venus' night-side in the near infrared and also used images taken from MESSENGER flyby to Venus. He is lecturer at Lisbon University. He dedicated himself in past years to foster and consolidate the planetary atmosphere's research. Present main topics include: collaboration with AKATSUKI space mission, atmospheric wave characterization (VEx, MEx), Gas Giants atmosphere's study with VLT ESPRESSO, UVES, and CASSINI. He is the responsible investigator (PI) of P-TUGA research project (planetary atmospheres). He is Co-I of ESA's ARIEL space mission, PI of ARIEL Portuguese consortium and leader of ARIEL WG on synergies between Solar System and Exoplanetary atmospheres. He is an invited scientist on Akatsuki space mission (JAXA). He took part in the coordination of the BepiColombo flybys to Venus (2020 and 2021) observational campaign. He is PI of ESA's PRODEX project under the framework of Portuguese participation on ARIEL space mission. Finally, he his the Portuguese representative for the new selected ESA's mission EnVision and leader of the national related support consortium.
