    Torrejón de Ardoz

    Visiting Researcher

    INTA, National Institute for Aerospace Technology

    Aligned and assembled opto-mechanical subcomponents in INTA’s cleanroom, and was the technical escalation point during subsystem integration. Built test setups to verify thermal control, and updated ICDs from as-built results.

    Lecco

    Space Hardware Engineer, PhD Candidate

    Politecnico di Milano, MetroSpace Lab

    PhD work on MiLi, a miniaturised LiDAR for Mars, with INTA and York University. I designed its opto-mechanics in Creo and the active thermal control of its laser, built the test setups, and took it through 150+ hours of thermal vacuum and 5+ vibration campaigns.
