⏳ 2025 until now • 🧪 Undergraduate Research Intern
I work at ICDT, conducting research in the field of CubeSats. With a broad range of expertise, I contribute to the Thermal Control Subsystem 🌡️, engage in 3D modeling 🖥️, and handle hardware along with low-level programming ⚙️. Additionally, I develop the satellite's communication systems 📡, both in orbit (utilizing onboard antennas) and on the ground by building ground stations 🌍.
