Focus
I am an aerospace engineering master's graduate from the Technical University of Munich with a focus on space systems, thermal analysis, mission design, ISRU concepts, and simulation-based engineering.
I prefer engineering problems that connect physical modelling, system-level tradeoffs, and practical implementation. My work has involved tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics, OpenModelica, Python, MATLAB, LaTeX, and C/C++.
