Analysis and development of cryogenic composite materials for space applications.Characterization of the composite with short fibre and continuos fibre and evaluation of reaction to strong thermal gradient and mechanical loads.The prinicipal tasks are:• Comparison of composite properties• Tensile and flexural tests• Impact tests• Cryogenic tests with liquid nitrogen• Thermal Analysis

Student project at CEF (Concurrent Engineering Facility) focused on the feasibility study of a lunar mission. Study target : design a small satellite with a VHF sounder as payload to map the south polar lunar surface looking for water molecules. The feasibility study follows System Engineering principles:• Defining requirements in compliance with ECSS standards based on client specifications.• Conducting trade-offs among different solutions for power generation • Designing and sizing electrical components in accordance with requirements

Responsible for conducting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses using advanced software tools such as ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM. The role involved creating and optimizing meshes for finite element method (FEM) analyses of subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flows.
