I am engaged in the design of unmanned aerial vehicles for the exploration of Mars. My work focuses on the intersection of low Reynolds number aerodynamics, the design of solar and rocket propulsion systems, and the development of layout solutions for the atmosphere of a rarefied gas environment.

As part of the LEMFEV project, we are developing an ultra-long-range aircraft for the exploration of Mars, from concept to flight model and autopilot. We publish our work in international peer-reviewed journals, present at conferences, and share MATLAB code and training materials.
