Hi there! 👋
I am an aspiring researcher in the field of Guidance, Control, and Navigation, with a strong interest in space technology and its applications. Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant at the University of Trento in the Simulation and Virtual Reality Lab.
I also co-founded a private research group that aims at solving problems in the field of Space Dynamics Control and System Engineering.
Previously, I worked as a software developer in rapid prototyping of advanced driver assistance systems at the Center for Research, FIAT (present Stellantis), and as an R&D System Validation Engineer at Electrolux.
Outside work, I enjoy watching Test match cricket, playing table tennis, and trying my luck with snowboarding in the Alpine mountains.
- My personal preference is to involve myself in a research style that balances mathematical rigor and engineering applications.
- I am a strong believer of collaboration and teamwork. I actively participate in discussing the progress or research questions I have with my colleagues and look towards understanding their perspective.

Guidance and Control of CubeSat using Aerodynamic Forces for Space Debris Characterization
- Objective: In this work, we are proposing a guidance and control methodology for a novel aerodynamics-based nanosat formation flying mission. As the size and shape of the debris are not known a priori, the multistatic synthetic aperture radar (MSSAR) technique is considered to detect and characterize the submillimeter debris particles. You can find more information about this project here and here is the github repo GitHub repository.
- Update: Abstract accepted for IAC 2024 Milan
Open Source Simulator Framework for Spacecraft
- The AOCS Simulator is an ambitious open-source project in the developmental stages, aimed at creating a robust tool for simulating the Attitude and Orbit Control system of spacecraft. The driving force behind this initiative is a collaborative effort of passionate independent engineers, united by the common goal of advancing space simulation technology.
