Experience You Can Use Directly
Since 2018, I have been part of the development of space projects, focusing on optics, instrumentation, and their electronic components. I have experience working with small and medium-sized enterprises that develop and build precision instruments, as well as working with space agencies. In 2023, I completed my PhD in Physics, with a dissertation on the characterization of a laser interferometer in space. In 2026, I became avocationally self-employed to share my experience in the development of precision instruments and systems.
My experience is based on many years of practical work in the operation and analysis of the laser ranging interferometer aboard the GRACE Follow-On mission (DLR/NASA), as well as the development of successor missions such as GRACE Continuity (DLR/NASA) and NGGM (ESA).
