Ferran Santonja Soto Email and Phone Number

As an Engineer Research Collaborator at National Research Council Canada (NRCC), I apply my knowledge and skills in aerospace engineering, 3D printing, and fluid mechanics to optimize the fabrication of advanced reinforced thermoplastic materials for aerospace applications. This project is in partnership with leading aerospace companies such as Safran, Alstom, and Solaxis.I have over three years of experience in research and development for different engineering and aerospace companies in Montreal, Eastern Canada. I have developed an eco-friendly 3D printing ink with electrical conductivity properties for 3D printing small piezoelectric sensors, designed and tested an helical coil heat exchanger model for a small modular reactor, and performed image analysis with Python to study the flow-induced vibrations in the 3D printed model. I am also proficient in CAD design, CFD, and machine learning.I hold a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from Polytechnic University of Valencia and two master's degrees in aerospace engineering from ISAE-ENSMA in France and Polytechnique Montreal in Canada. I am fluent in Spanish, Catalan, English, and French, and I have a professional music degree in classical guitar. I am passionate about space and the many unanswered questions we have yet to discover about it, and I am also a person who loves sports and outdoor activities. My goal is to progressively orient my professional career towards project management, as I believe I have the learning capacity and the necessary skills to play a good role in this field.
