Luca Thanei has been a research assistant at the Chair for the History of Technology at ETH Zurich since 2021.
He has obtained his master’s degree in the history of technology at ETH Zürich with a thesis on the long-lived material remnants of spaceflight in near-Earth space.
In his PhD project, which has been supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation since 2022, he is now looking in depth at historical difficulties in dealing with these long-lasting material remnants.
Furthermore, he is interested in the current consequences of said remnants and is involved in the interdisciplinary ESG Working Group on Earth-Space Governance.
