I am a rover operations preparator on the ExoMars program at the European Space Agency. I have authored and co-authored about 10 publications. Recognized by Forbes for the 30 Under 30 Europe list of 2021, and recipient of the International Giuseppe Sciacca Award for Science and Research in 2021. I was also described as a French Research Engineer of the Future honoree by L'Usine Nouvelle in 2019. I graduated from the Institut Polytechnique des Sciences Avancées (IPSA) with a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2019, and from Politecnico di Torino with a Master's degree in Space Systems Engineering in 2020. I also hold 7 recognized certifications in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, which is linked to one of my 'hobbies': Data Science.Main projects:- ESA's ExoMars 2022- NASA's Mars Science Laboratory-Curiosity- Observatoire de Paris's FRIPONSkills: Python, Matlab/Simulink, C, C++Specialties: Rovers Operations, Space Systems, Spacecraft Design, Machine LearningAcademic: Astronomy, Astrometry, Celestial Mechanics, Computer-Aided Design, Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Finite Element Method, Optics, Plasma Physics, Satellites, Simulators, Spacecraft Design, Space Launchers, Space Propulsion, Systems Engineering, System ProgrammingFirst and foremost, I love space, comedies, drawing landscapes, and writing code. Ever since writing my first program in Python and manipulating it to produce the desired output, I have been obsessed with the idea of using software to solve practical engineering problems. This led me to improve the laser accuracy of a rover on Mars: Curiosity. Software engineering, combined with Aerospace engineering, is a never-ending puzzle that I am passionately engaged in solving. I enjoy being part of a team, working together to achieve some goals, and deliver awesome results, as well as able to work well on my own initiative with the highest level of efficiency. Therefore, I believe in the power of space systems and programming to transform and improve our lives, and our knowledge.My passion for space, astronomy, and technology carried me through my education at IPSA, a French university specialized in Aerospace and Astronautics engineering. I met many great people. But I also studied new languages, space missions, algorithms, higher mathematics, physics, all with the same fascination that drove me as a kid. I learned here how much there was yet to learn.If you want to chat, let's get in touch!
