Lead, Mathematical Optimization-Based Satellite Constellation Design and Operational Framework

I am a graduate student at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. At SSORG, I will conduct research about the problem of using mathematical methods to optimally design satellite constellations and operate them under uncertainties. I obtained my Aerospace Engineering degree in 2022 being the first ever graduate in Argentina, and received the “Ten Outstanding Young Persons AMBA” award granted by the Junior Chamber International. My Capstone project consisted in the design, simulation and fabrication of a 3U Cubesat Structure. 

In my free time I enjoy listening to music, playing team and individual sports and spending time with friends.
