About
Passionate about aerospace, I hold a Bachelor's in Aerospace Systems Engineering, fostering multidisciplinary skills. As an advocate for sustainable propulsion, I pursued my Thermal Power and Propulsion MSc at Cranfield University. Currently, I'm engaged in an industrial PhD with Xiroi Aerospace and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, working on electric thrusters for microsatellites. Committed to diversity, I'm involved with Women In Aerospace Europe and co-chair the Young Engineers branch at IPowerE. Combining my love for literature and art, I have published a science-fiction novel that merges storytelling with engineering concepts. I aspire to communicate science, discoveries, and research through literature to inspire future generations. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any opportunities or would like to connect regarding topics related to propulsion, space, art or social aims. Let's explore how we can collaborate and push the boundaries of exploration together.

Being my Final Bachelor's Degree Thesis, the aim of this work is to design, simulate and analyze a thermoelectric generation system to sustain long-term missions for rovers at the Moon. The arrangement of the system and the energy provided by it will be described and analyzed during this project. All the simulations will be done employing COMSOL Multiphysics software. The main goal is to implement the Thermal Wadi concept and combine prior research results to assess the most possibly optimized system. Also, the manufacturing of all the elements with ISRU materials will be prioritized and evaluated, in order to study the best condition on the lunar surface. This project could serve for a future implementation of a Human Lunar Base using thermoelectricity generators as one of its thermal systems.
