• Mechanical analysis, design and testing of multiple CubeSat missions (including successfully launched LacunaSat and 3B5GSat)• Verification of the mechanical design through tailored simulations and tests such as modal, random and micro-vibrations.• Environmental tests (vibration and shock)• Satellite configuration management at platform and subsystem level• Requirements specification for mechanical subsystem

The aim of the PhD is to provide an early-stage analysis tool to assess the effects of micro-vibrations on Earth-observation space missions. The project is sponsored by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) and Airbus Defence and Space

Responsible of the Environmental Test Facility (ETS). The ETS includes two experimental facilities:• Mid-field Mechanical Shock Test Facility• Shaker Facility Duties include:• Test predictions• Planning and running tests• Writing test plans and reports

Main duties:- Development of finite element simulations for actuators (frangibolt)- Improvement of a mid-field mechanical shock facility (experimental configuration) and correlation with numerical models- Writing of technical documents for multiple missions

Teaching Assistant on the following modules:- ENG 2088 Solid Mechanics 2 - ENG 2103 Structural Mechanics and Analysis - ENG 3171: Advanced Stress Analysis
