EPS and MTP Spacecraft and Ground Segment Controller Operations in the Mission Control of LEO and GEO meteorological spacecrafts. - Monitoring end-to-end scientific data reception, production and distribution chain. - In case of anomalies, take necessary corrective actions, applying the established contingency procedures, and performing top-level investigation.

Design and optimization of PlaVi’s Attitude & Orbit Control System. Study of the proposed reaction wheel system and full design of its Safe Mode, using Matlab/Simulink. - Modeling of perturbations along the orbit as well as the satellite’s dynamics. - Optimization process to increase the maximum momentum that the reaction wheel system could withstand. - Determination of the Safe Mode procedures. Implementation and simulation of these sub-modes in Simulink.

CFD, thermal, structural and life time analyses of thermally loaded walls of rocket engines, by means of Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue tests. - Participation on different aspects of the preparation and execution of the thermo-mechanical tests. - CFD simulation of the tests using a combination of Matlab and Ansys. - Development of a database adapted to the resulting data.

- Collaboration in department projects. - Teacher assistance in labs. - Performing Fluent simulations for different department or student projects. - Completing, expanding and translating (into English) the main documents of three different subjects of Aerospace Engineering Bachelor Degree.

- CANSAT project: Can-sized satellite, measuring atmospheric parameters via radio link - Hands-on experience with spacecraft electronics, EO data and vacuum technology. - Master thesis in EADS Astrium: Design and optimization of PlaVi’s AOCS.

- Final project: Study of the fluid dynamics of a water tank used in fish breeding - Strong accent on team work and self-development, with multiple team projects along the studies
