Profil professionnel

Driven by curiosity in aerospace engineering, space systems, and astrophysics, I have gained hands-on experience in robotics, control systems, and mission planning through academic projects and internships. Proactive and analytical, I aim to contribute to research in satellite systems, spacecraft dynamics, propulsion testing, and model-predictive control, applying problem-solving and technical skills to advance experimental studies. Motivated to engage with multidisciplinary teams, I seek to participate in innovative research projects that push the boundaries of space science and technology.
