Biography
As an undergraduate, I attended the University of Glasgow (2015-2020) graduating with a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree in Aerospace Engineering with Honors of the First Class. As part of my Master's degree, I completed a thesis on guidance and control of a lunar lander using reinforcement machine learning.
In 2020 I embarked on a Ph.D. within the Space and Exploration Technology Group at the University of Glasgow investigating numerical Inverse Simulation techniques for the attitude control and design of satellites with flexible structures. I am now working as a Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow as the Orbital Dynamics and Mission Analysis lead for the ERC-funded SOLSPACE project; investigating the use of orbiting solar reflectors to enhance global clean energy services via space-based solutions.
