Dr. Flaviane Venditti started her scientific career as a Bachelor in Physics/Astronomy at the University of Sao Paulo, where she was part of the Polarimetry group working with observations at the National Laboratory for Astrophysics (LNA) in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Besides observations, she was also interested in celestial mechanics and space missions, which led her to pursue a Master's (2009) and Ph.D (2013) degree in Space Engineering at the National Institute for Space Research, Brazil, focused on Astrodynamics.

During her Ph.D, she worked with orbital maneuvers around irregularly shaped bodies, developing a method to model the gravitational field of asteroids with low computational effort using Arecibo's planetary radar data. She was a postdoctoral scientist for one year at the same institution, working with orbit perturbation, and in Montreal for 2.5 years working with dynamics of asteroid deflection at McGill University, Canada. She joined the planetary radar science group at the Arecibo Observatory in May 2017, working with radar observations to provide orbital and physical characterization of near-Earth asteroids to support NASA's planetary defense program.
