I am passionate about enabling sustainable exploration and long-term human presence beyond Earth!
My research at the European Space Resources Innovation Center (ESRIC) focuses enabling modularity & interoperability in ISRU architectures and developing regolith transport and beneficiation technologies.
I write casually about space resources topics on my personal Medium blog and as an editor for The Space Resources Compendium publication.
As part of my learning strategy, I have completed courses in the following topics:
Planetary Robotics (ROS 2)
Space Resources Technologies & Value Chains
Satellite Communications
Space Project Management
Space Policy, Law, & Ethics
CubeSat Mission Design
Satellite Mission Design (Systems Engineering)
Control Engineering & GNCS
Space Business, Economics, Entrepreneurship
Our team, SiMoon, developed a high-fidelity moon simulation platform to enhance lunar mission planning. This platform was developed as part of the SpaceHack Luxembourg 2023: a collaborative 'hackathon' aimed at developing business ideas for the NewSpace industry.
Our platform placed 3rd ( out of ~20 competing teams) and received the software innovation award!
Alongside members of the MSTB program, I co-developed a lunar surface resources prospecting mission, LuxMoon Surveyor; as part of the GLEE program. The mission uses an array of femtosats ("LunaSats) for in-situ regolith characterization at a Lunar south pole landing site. The mission was presented to directors at ESA and LSA in January 2024. Our mission proposal was accepted by the GLEE program with a tentative goal of launching to the Moon in 2026 via Artemis.
