Davide Russo Email & Phone Number

I am the Co-Founder and CIO at SunCubes, a cutting-edge startup developing innovative systems for long-distance wireless energy transmission using laser technology. My primary responsibilities include engineering system design, CAD modeling, machine design, and mechatronics, with a focus on creating revolutionary solutions in the field of laser power beaming.With a solid foundation in aerospace engineering, I have led various key technical projects before my experience at SunCubes, ranging from internal combustion engine design for aeromodels to advanced propulsion systems for space applications. My hands-on experience spans across a wide range of software and engineering tools, including PYTHON, MATLAB, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5, XFLR, and COMSOL, along with proficiency in aerodynamics and electromagnetic field analysis.Key projects include:1) Designed an internal combustion engine for model aircraft using CATIA V5.2) Conducted aerodynamic performance analysis on an aviation rotor using XFLR5, with modeling performed in JBLADE, as part of my Bachelor's thesis in Aerospace Engineering.3) Analyzed the thrust performance of the Quad Confinement Thruster at Surrey Space University and proposed modifications to enhance the induced magnetic field. This project involved MATLAB, SOLIDWORKS, and COMSOL, and was presented at the 73rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC) which was held in Paris in 2022.
